Title
The Pathways of Complement
Abstract
The natural world has developed very effective methods for dealing with pathogens that are invading an organism. By taking inspiration from the in-built, innate, response this paper develops a new algorithm that mimics activation path of the Alternative Pathway of Complement. The Alternative Pathway is triggered by cell surfaces. If the surfaces display safe characteristics then a strong suppression process prevents activation. In the case of non-safe surfaces a positive feedback loop rapidly identifies the location marking it for removal by phagocytosis.
