<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>Second, which of these two
models encapsulates more closely what you wizards mean by
computation. Is carrying out an algorithm more like
“computation” or is “building a limb”? Is a salamander’s limb
“computed”? If so, who computes it, or is that a violation of
the language of computation. I know. Fools rush in where
wise men fear to tread. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>I know that Susan has done a lot of more up to date and relevant
work in the area of bio-inspired computing and I haven't followed
it all nor do I fully appreciate what she meant when she once told
me that "Embryology" was the most inspiring area in that regard
that she was working with. I'll find a more up to date material
I hope, but *this* 2003 white-paper might be of some interest...</p>
