Abstract

The paper describes an universal constructor model realized in artificial environment called DigiHive. The environment is a two dimensional space, containing stacks of hexagonal tiles being able to moving, colliding, and making bonds between them. On the higher level of organization a structure of tiles specifies some function whose execution affects other tiles in its neighborhood. After short description of the Digi-Hive the paper describes design of an universal constructor and discusses possibilities of simulating self-replicating strategies in the environment.
