Pedro,

Follwing your Oct 9th post:
"...could you envision a realistic MGS model (in molecular terms), for
instance, of the prokaryotic cellular signaling system (the well-known
'two component system') applied to cellular locomotion? This system is
now a fashion in alife and autonoumous robotics. There is plenty of
data and you could more or less easily submit to the 'molecular test'
your MGS computational approach... If you consider interesting the
suggestion, I would be happy to collaborate".
I went thru a first initiation to this biological subject, and come
back to your interesting suggestion.
There are indeed a lot of articles about the two components systems
applied to cellular signaling. More or less accessible to a neophite.
A quite easy one I focused on is:

>From this article, it looks like there can be some room for comparing
the two protein system (Sensor Protein, Response Regulator Protein) to
the Meaning Generator System.
But before getting into technical items, I would appreciate you provide
your position as this being a good path to follow regarding your
suggestion.

Best

Christophe
