It works with bcln and high pressure. Unfortunately, the odds of the proportions of elements being exactly right in the offspring is tiny and they are almost always sterile, blown up, or parasitic.

It's hard to imagine this EVER producing 'healthy' offspring, it tends to just make a mess. People have made self-replicating robots using CRAY and DRAY, and even some that produce 'fertile' offspring (search user:devastheempty for a particularly nice Von Neumann machine). You could perhaps introduce random mutations into such a mechanism, but I don't think a completely random process could ever be made to work.
