Biology has traditionally started at the top, viewing a living organism as a complex biochemical machine, and worked analytically downwards from there -through organs, tissues, cells, organelles, membranes, and finally molecules- in its pursuit of the mechanisms of life. Artificial Life starts at the bottom, viewing an organism as a large population of simple machines, and works upwards synthetically from there, constructing large aggregates of simple, rule-governed objects which interact with one another nonlinearly in the support of life-like, global dynamics.
