Chemistry and computing networks: using existing dns architecture as a paradigm for chemistry based content addressing
This may just as easily apply to other things, like dna, but I'm not sure. It's a very fuzzy concept.
Essentially I'm thinking like this:
Maybe a proof of concept separate internet network with a set of constrained tlds that function as gateways to various chemicals for informatics, Maybe.
E.g. Leucine Is C6H13NO2
So. Let's use the dns model but slightly tweaked
C6H13NO2 or something similar is the ip address
Url is leucine.chem
But that's not that useful, so let's make it so the ip is subnetted in a way that allows element level navigation
The reason for this is that this encoding method will automatically enforce the rule that similar chemicals will have proximity constraints in the networked world.
E.g. C10h4na2 will be close to c10h2na2, both chemically and physically.
Why is this useful? It's probably not useful at all. But it's just a weird idea I had.

C.6.h.13.no.2
Means, carbon subnet location 6, hydrogen subnet location 13, nitrogen subnet location 2
