It's said that if monkeys hack long enough on a typewriter, than they will inexorably end up writing something that makes sense.
Let's see if this is also true for scientists...

Scientific Stream of Conscience I

Cellular networks share characteristics with social networks. Use social simulation program to test hypothesis on cellular networks. Use character traits (Sticks moderatly to many, sticks specifically to one, attracts many non-specifically, inhibits actions (fatigue), stimulates actions (alcohol)). Use floating, gaussian distribution of strengths of traits. Allow mutations, and combination of traits (or combining single characters). Allow for parallel, overlapping actions. Is there any computer game that could be used? Auto-Sims? For deterministic History, could removal of persons be compared with removal of nodes in protein interaction network? Hitler as a GPCR? Einstein as p53?
