Experimental Measurement of Assembly Indices are Required to Determine The Threshold for Life
In a recent paper by Hazen et al [1] the authors not only confused the concept of AT with the algorithms used to calculate assembly indices, but also attempted to falsify AT by calculating theoretical assembly indices for objects made from inorganic building blocks.
Determining Molecular Complexity using Assembly Theory and Spectroscopy
Determining the complexity of molecules has important applications from molecular design to understanding the history of the process that led to the formation of the molecule.
Quantifying the pathways to life using assembly spaces
To quantify this information in an agnostic way, we present a method to determine the amount of pathway assembly information contained within such an object by deconstructing the object into its irreducible parts, and then evaluating the minimum number of steps to reconstruct the object along any pathway.
Exploration of Self-Propelling Droplets Using a Curiosity Driven Robotic Assistant
We describe a chemical robotic assistant equipped with a curiosity algorithm (CA) that can efficiently explore the state a complex chemical system can exhibit.
Hardware and Software manual for Evolution of Oil Droplets in a Chemo-Robotic Platform
This manual outlines a fully automated liquid handling robot to enable physically-embodied evolution within a chemical oil-droplet system.
