Abstract

A completely automated software, firmware, and/or hardware system capable of self-generation and auto-updating, designed to be independent of computer technology and to never become obsolete as computer technology changes. A system in which all the software programs are generated by feeding problem specification files, which can be handled automatically, and, thus, can be updated and documented by, the computer, into program generators, which communicate with users in human language. The initial self-generating generators which have their own specification files and can, therefore, generate themselves. A self-generating software system or cell, which will enable multicellular designs using external common files, comprises (1) programs; (2) generators; (3) specification files, which are the recordings of the exact keystrokes in answering tree-structured multiple-choice and text questions posed by specification generators; and (4) full sets of subroutines, which are produced automatically, can generate instructions, can document and update specifications, and can be transported from generators to generators by selective copying, chaining, and/or merging. By following the flow of the tree-structured multiple-choice questions, a user no longer needs to commit to memory any technical information, such as addresses, formats, keywords, etc. In particular, by presetting a flag in the program generator, not only can the generator generate instructions, but it can also generate instructions which can generate instructions, thus, allowing future generated generators to generate instructions, and also instruction generating instructions. The self-generating software system is completely automated, can self-generate to infinity, and has a structure similar to the DNA-protein system of the living organism.
