Abstract :
An ATP-activated actin filament and a flagellar exoneme of eukaryotic spermatozoon display a kind of bending motion exhibiting a one-to-many correspondence of the displacement of the moving medium to the force actualized there. The one-to-many relationship necessitates a materialistic capacity for making choices on the part of molecules and cells. This capacity, as demonstrated in cell motility, refers to the capacity of specifying the further specifiability intrinsic to the molecular computing that controls the dynamics of motile cells. Cell motility is a demonstration of the molecular computation operating in the mode of rendering the execution program variable while executing.<>
