The present work visualizes the evolution of primitive digital circuits as a development problem. The development of the digital circuit is implemented similar to the development of a human embryo from a single cell to the complete organism. The constituent parts making up a primitive digital circuit are encoded into binary strings. Each binary string is viewed as a cell, and several such cells are allowed to adhere and multiply before culminating into a developed organism. The binary string of the cell is further mapped to a particular attribute which defines the constituent of the complete digital circuit implemented. The present work illustrates the development of a 4-input combinational digital circuit. The development of 2-input majority function is illustrated, and the results are shown for the 2-input Ex-OR gate, 2-input majority function with 4 input variables, and a 2-to-1 multiplexer circuit. The development of the digital circuit resembles the development of an embryo in a living organism.

通过基于发育生物学的编码来开发组合回路。

本工作将原始数字电路的发展可视化为一个发展问题。数字电路的开发与人类胚胎从单个细胞到完整生物体的开发相似。组成原始数字电路的组成部分被编码为二进制字符串。每个二进制字符串被视为一个细胞，并允许多个这样的细胞粘附并繁殖，直到最终形成一个发达的有机体。单元的二进制字符串进一步映射到特定属性，该属性定义了所实现的完整数字电路的组成部分。本工作说明了4输入组合数字电路的发展。说明了2输入多数功能的发展，并显示了2输入Ex-OR门的结果，具有2个输入变量的2输入多数功能和2对1多路复用器电路。数字电路的发展类似于活生物体中胚胎的发展。
