overarching goal is to build a basic biological signal
processing system that is modular by design. As of now, we're
concentrating on building a sensing device that can take in any
input and output PoPs, and not worrying about the internal
processing, or the output system. Our system will be designed
such that others can plug in any processor/actuator combination,
which will respond to the input of their choosing.  In terms of
external signal to receiver design, there are two basic ways we
have thought of doing this, each with its own caveats and
benefits; though we will probably only choose to build one of
these, each is a basic proof of concept that the other might
work.    1. Direct communication of antigen and receiver   2.
Secondary/Primary antibody communication system  In terms of
receiver to internal signal transduction, there are also two
basic systems.    1. Signal initiation by
