摘要:

我们证明了纳米尺度自组装的抽象瓦片组装模型(aTAM)具有内在的普适性。这意味着存在单个瓦片组装系统U,其在适当初始化的情况下模拟任何瓦片组装系统T。模拟是“内在的”,因为U执行的自组装过程正是T执行的过程,T的每个瓦片由U的mxm个“超级瓦片”表示。我们的结构适用于任何温度下的完整aTAM,它忠实地模拟了每个T的确定性或非确定性行为。我们的构建成功地解决了发育生物学中细胞分化问题的一个模拟:U的每个超瓦片,从种子集合中的那些开始,携带模拟系统T的“基因组”。在U的自组装中的潜在超级瓦片的每个位置处,决定是否以及如何表达该基因组,即,是否生成超级瓦片,以及如果是,它将表示T的哪个瓦片。这个决定必须在不完全信息下使用异步通信来实现,但是它实现了正确的全局结果。

英文摘要:

We prove that the abstract Tile Assembly Model (aTAM) of nanoscale self-assembly is intrinsically universal. This means that there is a single tile assembly system U that, with proper initialization, simulates any tile assembly system T. The simulation is "intrinsic" in the sense that the self-assembly process carried out by U is exactly that carried out by T, with each tile of T represented by an m x m "supertile" of U. Our construction works for the full aTAM at any temperature, and it faithfully simulates the deterministic or nondeterministic behavior of each T. Our construction succeeds by solving an analog of the cell differentiation problem in developmental biology: Each supertile of U, starting with those in the seed assembly, carries the "genome" of the simulated system T. At each location of a potential supertile in the self-assembly of U, a decision is made whether and how to express this genome, i.e., whether to generate a supertile and, if so, which tile of T it will represent. This decision must be achieved using asynchronous communication under incomplete information, but it achieves the correct global outcome(s).
