ABSTRACT
Christiane Nsslein-Volhard and Eric Wieshaus, whose work has emphatically demonstrated that intracellular genetic processes provide a self-contained mechanism for making sense of the various elements needed to provide intrinsically informative systems. Think back to one childhood and remember those wet weekends waiting for the rain to stop and their friends to call. It was during episodes like this that many of us were introduced to the type of puzzle commonly known as a dot-to-dot'. The very frameworks or spaces' within which such geometric descriptions can take place can also be curved rather than straight' and the easiest way to think about this are to visualise another problem. Since the nineteenth century discovery of geometries that do not need to be bound by Euclid's rules, ideas on space have undergone a radical transformation. As they correspond to one of the most fundamental interpretations of computation known to people, by way of a model know as a Turing Machine.
