Could Wolfram Alpha, using cellular automata, demonstrate the simplest, and least risky, genetic engineering methods? How specifically?
Abstract
Perhaps Wolfram Alpha, using cellular automata, could demonstrate the simplest, and least risky, genetic engineering methods by modeling the specific nature with computer programs instead of equations.
"Are mathematical equations the best way to model nature? For many years it had been assumed that they were. But in the early 1980s, Stephen Wolfram made the radical proposal that one should instead build models that are based directly on simple computer programs. Wolfram made a detailed study of a class of such models known as cellular automata, and discovered a remarkable fact: that even when the underlying rules are very simple, the behavior they produce can be highly complex, and can mimic many features of what we see in nature" (Wolfram 1994).

Epigenetic information polish then recessive privilege distribution. WARNING: Genetic engineering is DANGEROUS. Hopefully regularly polishing the epigenome will cure aging and other diseases, plus prevent side effects of genetic engineering. Also, hopefully and theoretically, after the potential CONSENSUAL AND BENEFICIAL genetic engineering to provide recessive traits and recessive genes, if the surgery is simple enough, subjects will keep their genetic signatures.
WARNING: GENETIC ENGINEERING IS DANGEROUS. Also, ANTI-racism is a moral imperative.
Critical Rationalist Biology. Biology under critical rationalist epistemology contains information theory. Critical rationalism is self-critical rationalist epistemology. Thereby self-critically asserting reason as the foundation of knowledge. Information theory successfully acknowledges both evolution and possible creationism. Information theory notes constructivism's dominance, while privilege is heritable. No gene is 100% known to be a certain trait. Critical rationalist biology sets the stage for critical theory such as CRT. Evolution may have happened yet no acquired mutation can turn other animals human. Without at least partial free will(the fundamental choice to focus on life) human reason would be impossible. So, free will is compatible with determinism. Parts of life are choices while others are not. Previously, the author has charted other sciences with critical rationalism. For context, the essay covers the epistemology itself then those two disciplines. Comte's Hierarchy of sciences contrasts with falsifiability ranking "astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and sociology" from simplest to complex(Simonton 2015). Heuristically, more falsifiable science is less complex. Astronomy is the most falsifiable. Physics is the second most falsifiable. Biology is the second most complex. Sociology is the most complex. Humans are complex thus, social sciences rely on heuristics.
