Abstract
Self-replicating loops presented to date are usually worlds unto themselves, inaccessible to 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 as well as the size of the replica. After presenting the design of this novel loop, we delineate its physical implementation in our electronic wall for bio-inspired applications, the BioWall.
