Volumetric local computing

Much like cells undergoing division and function processes in the space, they compute a function process depending on outside surrounding medium and internal and external inputs or stimuli to produce collective rearrangement.
Now this process is local, physical processes are slow relative to human level time, its an orchestrated process, to produce the collective outcome as desired shape of a being.

Such concept of course extends to humans in society, humans analogous to cells, specialise and form a certain functioning structure in the society.

And such concept can be used to perform biomimetic complex operations in space using both code simulation level in computer or on realistic physical level. (relative to what is termed simple in current era or usual set of mind, i.e if usual set of mind is less complex, usually).

For e.g., one can design a tree that grows into a pot plant, i.e. it creates the object the fruit of desire, from its seed. As the object is programmed to produce the stuff the certain way, one may also be able to grow a plant in a particular shape, certain useful chemicals which are difficult to make and rare, to certain treatments that are only possible currently from natural sources.

We can start with how to attain a specific shape form given cell embryo, and its dna, i.e. backtracking whichfunctional processes must be how for a given shape result to be achieved.

A simple zygote first undergoes divisions, and when packed only then it starts growing and differentiating
