Abstract

This paper describes a multicellular universal Turing machine implementation endowed with self-replication and self-repair capabilities. In this multicellular artificial organism every artificial cell contains a complete copy of the genome. The mapping of the universal Turing machine onto a multicellular array was made possible thanks to the introduction of a modified version of the W-machine1.
