2. Is your solution a purely
chemical process that will generate, transmit and receive a simple
code--a process by which chemicals self-organize into a code without
benefit of designer?
3. To be clear, is your solution a process
where some chemicals, at some particular concentration of compounds, at
the right temperature and pressure, etc. generate, transmit and receive a
simple code, without any intelligent being or other life-form creating,
transmitting or receiving the code?
4. Is your solution a
formula or transformation process that turns matter into
information—directly, with no intelligent being or other life-form
making it happen?
5. Is your coded communication system digital, not analog?
6.
Does your solution have the three integral components of communication,
i.e., encoder, code, and decoder, functioning together?
7. Does
your solution contain a message passed between the encoder and decoder
components that is in a sequence of symbols forming characters of a
finite alphabet?
8. Does your solution contain encoding and
decoding tables filled out with their values arising from the submitted
system or process?
9. For your solution, does a procedure exist for determining whether input correctly corresponds to output?
10.
Is the actual system that you are submitting for demonstration of the
solution to this Challenge preprogrammed with any form of code? Any
system found to have preprogrammed code in it in any form will be
disqualified from the competition.
11. Is the system that you are
submitting for demonstration of the solution to this Challenge a direct
derivative of DNA or produced by any living organism, including viruses
and similar entities? Phenomena such as bee waggles, dog barks, RNA
strands derived from cells, mating calls of birds, etc. are not
acceptable elements of a winning solution to this Challenge.
12.
Is the origin of the system that you are submitting for solution to this
Challenge documented to show that its process of origin can be observe
in nature and/or duplicated in a real-world laboratory according to the
scientific method?
**Describe your proposed solution. It must be
thorough, specific, clear, and easy to read. Include descriptions of
processes, tools, and techniques utilized in the solution. Be sure to go
into sufficient detail, especially in areas there your approach may
deviate from conventional or traditional methods.
