The author looks into the possibility that life could emerge from the interaction of inanimate artificial molecules. Cellular automata provides one with the logical universes within which artificial molecules can be embedded in the form of propagating, virtual automata. It is suggested that since virtual automata have the computational capacity to fill many of the functional roles played by the primary biomolecules, there is a strong possibility that the 'molecular logic' of life can be embedded within cellular automata and that, therefore, artificial life is a distinct possibility within these highly parallel computer structures.
