Abstract
Inspired by the basic processes of molecular biology, our previous studies resulted in defining self-organizing mechanisms made up of simple processes. The goal of our paper is to introduce a configurable molecule able to implement these mechanisms as well as their underlying processes. The hardware description of the molecule leads to the simulation of an arithmetic and logic unit designed as a one-dimensional organism dedicated to bit slice processors.
