Quines

I just spotted a wonderfully observant post by Greg Buchholz about quines on LtU:

…is there any real importance to quines and polyglots…

The best example of a quine I can think of is the DNA program running on your personal "cell" hardware. And I suppose a cross-species virus is somewhat similar to a polyglot.

Very insightful! I love disciplinary crossovers like that.
