     1.9 + - a hidden world of early life :: I imagine that the bridge form the
    1.10 +      first life forms to even very simple single celled organisms was
    1.11 +      probably very interesting and a lot more diverse than we give it
    1.12 +      credit for. Unfortunately, I doubt that we're going to find any
    1.13 +      good evidence for such creatures, since they don't seem like the
    1.14 +      type of organisms that would preserve well. All sorts of really
    1.15 +      neat delf replicating molecules and assemblies of molecules, and
    1.16 +      we'd have no record of any of them. The only way to get an idea
    1.17 +      of these types of life will be to make them again in the lab.

    1.25 +      auditory circuits, "invert" the model based on sound input, and
    1.26 +      generate music with constrating satisfaction. Might find some
    1.27 +      music that's simultaneously "alien" (lacking a top-down design)
    1.28 +      yet still deeply emotionally coherent and satisfying.

    1.31 +      you wet, just see what happens if you attach your nerves to

    1.40 +      the main information containing layer of an information storage
    1.41 +      device, look at where correlated change happens, and then to see
    1.42 +      if it's digital, look beyond that and see if the changes are

    1.47        would create would fail. But it's really hard to make this
