Efforts to extend the philosophy of these approaches into issues of small object

• possible information processors [56]. Then it dawned on me that the 'lumophore–spacer–receptor’ system could be elaborated into Boolean logic devices with chemical inputs and luminescence output. The first device, which initiated molecular logic-based computation as an experimental field, arose in the form
