It's an artificial chemistry which is inspired, but can do other things as well, from untyped lambda beta calculus. There are two projects related to it, one in meatspace, other in virtual space. Project 1 says that if this chemlambda can be done by real chemistry then it may help to build or understand biochemistry. The article is http://chorasimilarity.github.io/chemlambda-gui/dynamic/mole... Molecular computers (2015). Project 2 is about decentralized computing, without any higher layer of control. Pretty, short animations with some explanations in the https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/UjgbX chemlambda collection. More meaty stuff in the http://chorasimilarity.github.io/chemlambda-gui/index.html . But you have to follow links to articles and read them :) Real stuff in the github repo, see https://github.com/chorasimilarity/chemlambda-gui/blob/gh-pa... . I'm a mathematician, not a programer, there has been no release yet, every possibility is left open. Play with it folks! I have not figured out why firefox is so lousy with some of these d3.js animations, but you can make your own and fiddle with them. True is that some of them have tens of thousands of nodes which appear/dissapear (several hundreds at a time). Safari works well, chromium decently.
