Abstract
Significance The modern information age was enabled by encoding, transmitting, and manipulating information in a way that is robust to error. However, synthetic biology and molecular programming, fields that aim to recapitulate the successes of electronics within biochemistry, still struggle with error tolerance. The ability to create “smart” molecular systems capable of robust information processing and decision making would enable important applications in biomaterial production, biosensing, and therapeutics. Based on DNA strand displacement building blocks, we demonstrate de novo engineered molecular cascades robust to spurious interactions using an error correction scheme based on redundancy. In principle, arbitrary levels of error reduction could be attained. The information propagation cascades form a foundation for more complex, resilient, and faster programmable reaction networks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
