When I first saw the 1931 portrait of Frida and Diego, I was impressed by its symmetry. I’m not talking necessarily about visual symmetry to do with equal sides of a exacting mirror image. I’m speak about the pairing between uneven forms. For me, the portrait is a representation of forged strength. It’s about the whole of the parts that is balanced on strength of a group. Notice that Frida is small. She is light and dainty compared to Diego’s large, sturdy, rectangularity. She is traditional and idle with her shawl and dress, doll-like feet and tilted head— ...

Recent developments in DNA have established that computations can now be embedded in crystals. It has been speculated that crystal computations have a possible connection to the origin of life.

One of the key strengths behind Cairns-Smith’s theory is that it answers Darwinians evolution that could have begun through a geological process. Taking into consideration the simplicity and conceptual evolution of crystals this provides wide range of open evolutions.

Another great advancement in this area is the case of ‘crystal metabolism’ ...
