Abstract

Self-replicating loops presented to date are essentially worlds unto themselves, inaccessible to the observer once the replication process is launched. In this paper we present a self-replicating loop which allows for user interaction. Specifically, the user can control the loop's replication and induce its destruction. After presenting the design of this novel loop, we delineate its physical implementation in our electronic wall for bio-inspired applications, the BioWall.
