Hybrdit
Hybrdit is a term used in speculative science to describe a class of hybrid digital–biological systems that integrate living components with digital control to perform tasks that neither purely biological nor purely mechanical systems achieve. The name combines "hybrid" and a root concept of digitization and directed modification.
Hybrdit concepts envision organisms or biomaterials whose genetic circuits are designed to interface with electronic controllers
Core technologies include synthetic gene circuits, programmable biosensors, compatible interfacing substrates, microcontrollers, and software stacks for
Potential applications span environmental monitoring and remediation, field diagnostics, programmable crops or livestock management, and targeted
Ethical, legal, and safety considerations are central, including containment, ecological risk, data privacy, governance, and dual-use
