Biocomputers

Build a biocomputer

Explore the architecture without pretending the wet biology is simple.

Choose four parts of a system. The result is a conceptual architecture, with heuristic scores for interface access, biological complexity, maintenance burden and how closely the design resembles demonstrated technology.

This tool does not model cell biology or provide a laboratory protocol. Its scores are teaching aids derived from broad engineering trade-offs.
