TERTIARY

A revolutionary computing architecture that uses engineered organic molecules as information processing units, requiring entirely new fabrication facilities that operate at the intersection of semiconductor manufacturing and synthetic biology. These 'molecular foundries' would use directed evolution and chemical synthesis to create programmable molecular circuits that self-assemble into computational networks, bypassing silicon entirely.
