This document explores bio-inspired computing, specifically focusing on self-healing structures using cell induction techniques. It describes a model wherein a large number of unreliable cells work together to create robust systems that can heal and regenerate. The concepts discussed include swarm programming, chemical diffusion among cells, actions during cell division, and interactions based on environmental awareness. These principles draw on nature’s ability to maintain functionality despite damage, providing a foundation for developing resilient computing solutions.
