Abstract
Porphyrins are molecular units with fourfold symmetry and suitable for solid substrate deposition. The chemical structure of a porphyrin molecule reveals four structural units which can be synthesised with different substituent functional groups. Seen as programmable molecules, the adequate selection of functional groups plays a central role to defining the correct intermolecular bindings that lead to a precisely tuned self-assembled pattern. This programmability problem is appropriate for modelling with a spatial computing systems where autonomous entities interact one another subject to their structure, spatial location, physical constraints and neighbourhood relationship. In this work we employ a multi-agents approach, the resulting simulations of which can be not only linked to discrete processes of computation, but also analysed in terms of algorithmic complexity.
