Talk:Chemical computer

This article had a pretty good jump-start by Hipporoo. I sectioned it, and trimmed it a bit by linking stuff explained elsewhere. A few things that might need a bit more attention:

Hipporoo: I'd really like to see your references. The ones I put in are for journal articles that are very technical and subscription-only and I think you have some better ones. Just found one freely available here, maybe that should go in too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nvj (talk • contribs) 14:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * How come it would be so much easier to arrange chemicals than lines on a chip. Is there some sort of selfassembly planned?
 * A clearer explanation of how exactly this could outperform chips (the "neuron" paragraph).
 * Work by other than Adamatzky
 * My language should probably be checked over again
 * My language should probably be checked over again


 * Thanks, but I am afraid I don't have much personal knowledge in the field. I read the article on the net and found it so interesting that I thought it wouldn't hurt if it was transferred to Wikipedia, where others hopefully would add their own knowledge to the subject now and then. So I took the information and tried to write most of it with my own words, to make sure it isn't a direkt copy to avoid evntuel copyright problems. Since you have done some edits on your own, it is even less similar, and probably clearer. I don't know where the information in the article I read came from, but I can try to give some answears to some of the questions.


 * "How come it would be so much easier to arrange chemicals than lines on a chip?" From the article, I got the impression that since there is no need for the complicated electronic "highways" in the chemical component, it seems just logical it has a simpler "anatomy" and because of that easier to produce. And cheaper.


 * "A clearer explanation of how exactly this could outperform chips (the "neuron" paragraph)." Like mentioned, if the technology keeps its promises, which is handling a much larger amount of data because of the chemical properties, it will outperform the present chips. It is like saying if it succeeds to built a car that use only 10% as much fuel as the cars of today, it will in the longer run outperform our conventional cars. Not much realistic for the moment, but you get the idea. I don't have any links for the moment, but it has been mentioned in some article that the brain works in a different way than a computer, even if there is many similrities, and in a more chaotic way. And then we have the old example about how big a computer would have to be if it should have the sama capacity as a brain.


 * What modern theoretical analyses concerning sufficient complicated reactions it is referred to, I cannot tell, but the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction itself should be proof enough.


 * Some of the "citation needed" statements is based on "if it succeeds to turn theory into practice". From what the theory says, it sounds like the new principles will have a lot of advantages compared to the conventional machines.


 * The original article for those who read the language;

 * Tjaaa, jeg kunne vel i grunnen det. Skal i fremtiden forsøke å finne en balansegang. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hipporoo (talk • contribs) 22:49, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Next time just put your link under references and mark it "(Norwegian)" - won't hurt, and might help. In any case, Illustrert Vitenskap has a quite deserved reputation for over-hyping (it sells) so I'll try to tone the claims down a bit. Let's see when I get around to it. Nice move on getting content in without copyright trouble. Nvj 10:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll remember that. And take a look now and then in case there is any edits. Hipporoo 21:10, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
