We introduce the main concepts of a bio-inspired calculus for describing 3D shapes moving in a space. Each shape contains a timed CCS-like process specifying an internal behaviour based on shape- dependent channels and splitting actions. Interactions among such enti- ties, called 3D processes, are collision-driven, i.e. collisions are detected and resolved yielding bounces or joining of 3D compatible processes. We discuss how the features of the calculus can be used to model biological processes, for instance biochemical reactions.

Abstract

We introduce the main concepts of a bio-inspired calculus for describing 3D shapes moving in a space. Each shape contains a timed CCS-like process specifying an internal behaviour based on shape- dependent channels and splitting actions. Interactions among such enti- ties, called 3D processes, are collision-driven, i.e. collisions are detected and resolved yielding bounces or joining of 3D compatible processes. We discuss how the features of the calculus can be used to model biological processes, for instance biochemical reactions.
