The Power of Universal Programming Language in Chemistry Experiments

A universal programming language for chemistry enables robots to conduct any known chemical reaction, exploring chemistry through algorithmic processes. By using assembly theory to assess molecule complexity and evolution, researchers can evaluate the input boundary conditions against the complexity of generated molecules. The goal is to minimize human agency in experiments, controlling for variables to observe how chemistry generates complexity on its own. By designing experiments to study the emergence of information in chemistry, researchers aim to identify and bound the factors influencing this phenomenon.
