Natural Selection
An Internet portal containing a database of evaluated websites relating to the natural and life sciences. Part of the BIOME Project, a group of quality portals designed to cover life science, health, and veterinary medicine.
6 Billion - The Game of the New Millennium
A wide-ranging site produced by David Coutts. Originally created to provide background information to Coutts' board game 6 BillionTM, the site has grown into a large storehouse of information on exponential growth and Malthus' Principle of Population.
Engines of Creation
The online version of the book Engines of Creation by K. Eric Drexler, a recognized expert in the field of nanotechnology. A fascinating look into the replicative potential of minute robots created through nanotechnology.
Unbounding the Future: The Nanotechnology Revolution
Another book about nanotechnology, authored by K. Eric Drexler, Chris Peterson, and Gayle Pergamit.
Matrioshka Brains
An interesting article by Robert Bradbury on the possibility of building megascale computing centers using stars as power sources. Somewhat technical, and very long.
Some Limits to Global Ecophagy by Biovorous Nanoreplicators, with Public Policy Recommendations
A very technical article on the replicative possibilities of nanotechnology, written by Robert Freitas. Interesting, but not for the fainthearted.
Evolution and Philosophy: A Revolution in Philosophy
A philosophically advanced site written and compiled by Kent Van Cleave. Most of the ideas here are similar to those presented on Replicators, but these articles go into considerably more detail and are more philosophically sophisticated.
The Temple of Alife
A website containing several interactive demonstrations of early artificial life and evolution. A good place to begin if you are looking for demonstrations of algorithms that mimic biological systems.
If you have a site you would like to suggest, please send it to replicators@mail333.com. Thanks!
