The Daodan's ability of producing non-random mutations doesn't exist in nature. So, its purposefulness should be the result of something man-made, probably some kind of computer. So far I had doubts that a computer could be produced inside a living system. Certainly, it wouldn't be a computer that has todays dimensions, materials or architecture. | The Daodan's ability of producing non-random mutations doesn't exist in nature.

One idea is to keep separate the genetic code of Daodan and natural organism: If the Daodan uses another backbone for its base pairs then perhaps viruses wouldn't be able to incorporate their code for reasons of incompatibility. For instance, [[wikipedia:Peptide_nucleic_acid|PNA]] has another type of backbone. But experiments showed that long PNA strains [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetische_Biologie#Ein_neues_R.C3.BCckgrat aren't stable.] I don't know if there are other alternatives. Furthermore, there are other dangerous substances like toxins so I will bet on an analyzing element. In 2012 scientist succeeded to simplify the identification of [http://phys.org/news/2012-07-scientists-fingerprint-nanoscale-viruses.html nanosized objects]. A minimized version of the device would be an ideal sensor for the Daodan. | One idea is to keep separate the genetic code of Daodan and natural organism: If the Daodan uses another backbone for its base pairs then perhaps viruses wouldn't be able to incorporate their code for reasons of incompatibility.
