I know about the recent stuff using DNA as a storage medium. I am interested in writing a story where humans have mastered everything Evolution has to offer; a time when technology is completely integrated into a vivarium/Bioregenerative Life Support System like ecosystem on multiple levels.

I’m looking for references to better speculate about organic compute as a complete replacement for silicon in a very distant future.

    I’m interested in the same essential clock as a human, or within an order of mag. I’m simply using human level-ish parallelism. The inherent limitations are a useful plot point already.

    I need a mechanism for calling it deterministic, and maybe explore plausible ways of implementation in peripheral context.

    I’m thinking about a Frankenstein like lab where pieces and parts are grown and combined to create something like a Mentat of Dune by realistic means.

      Google some shit like multiplexing and go down that rabbit hole, it won’t disappoint

        Do I need to get my breadboards out too?

        74HC257?
