I know about the recent stuff using DNA as a storage medium. I am interested in writing a story where humans have mastered everything Evolution has to offer; a time when technology is completely integrated into a vivarium/Bioregenerative Life Support System like ecosystem on multiple levels.

I’m looking for references to better speculate about organic compute as a complete replacement for silicon in a very distant future.

    You’d probably want to segregate the hard-tech from the soft/bio-tech:

    IF you require deterministic-performance, THEN stay away from meat-implimentation.

    IF you require sentience-sensitivity, THEN stay away from hard-tech implimentation.

    ( same principle as requiring both people & systems, in order to project effective force, economically, militarily, in disaster-relief, in any domain,

    same principle as using both a wordsless-wholistic metaphor-understanding sentience in one’s right-hemisphere, vs a reductionistic sentience in one’s left, as the split-brain patients showed.

    2 orthogonal systems, collaborating … produces greater results than either-kind would on its own! )

    Organic-sentience and machine-compute, organic doing the high-level-decisions, & machines doing the low-level-competencies, seems much more realistic.
