I wonder if an organ could be simulated taking a smaller selection of cells, determining their characteristic interactions and extrapolating from there.
Sort of like a Hashlife[1] for real life, as it were.
And let me just say that I sure hope we're not still coding in 80 years. Fun as it may be, we'd probably be better off letting machines handle that sort of thing. Get started on that AI!
