A processor translates components of a slot grammar of the NLP system and an input filler vocabulary into listings of sequences of nucleotides. These sequences are encoded into a set of nucleotide chains, which are then allowed to chemically interact with each other such that the chains automatically bond in ways that are analogous to the way that a traditional computerized NLP system would use inferences and contextual information to fill slots of the slot grammar with tokens of the filler vocabulary. The resulting DNA molecules are extracted and information encoded into sequences of nucleotides comprised by the extracted molecules is decoded to yield a set of all possible strings that may generated by filling slots of the slot grammar with tokens of the vocabulary.
