Interface org.jcon.core.part.CellNodeReplicator

public interface CellNodeReplicator
This interface is responsible for replicating cell nodes given an existing parent cell node to replicate from.

Look closely. When creating new cells, this interface adds various core parts using replication. In effect this allows pre-existing life to reproduce and create a new life form. This is cellular reproduction.

Note that not all core parts are added, because some are inheritable parts. These are available to any cell without being in the cell. This greatly reduces cell bloat.
