Yes, I’m all about this. Most of my free time I work on this kind of thing. I come here because @swamidass claims what I’m trying to do is impossible. If he can demonstrate this, that would save me a lot of effort.
As a side note, I’d also argue all the great engineering computational biologists already do applied ID, just not recognized as such. It all deals with deriving the incredible structure in DNA, and structure is a form of algorithmic mutual information. In which case, ID is already well established as a scientific discipline, but credit has been unjustly taken by naturalism.
