Figure 2 - The general characteristics of a Biopoiesis system. Information from the environment is fed into the stannous chloride solution, thus affecting growth of dendritic threads that, in turn, affect any outputs to the environment—a cybernetic feedback loop. In this system diagram, 13 electrodes (4 cathodes [black dots] and 9 anodes [red dots]) are placed in the stannous chloride solution, but different electrode numbers might be used depending on the goals of a particular implementation.
