Modifiable automata self-modifying automata
Acta Biotheoretica 40 (2-3):195-204 (1992)
Abstract
One of the most important features of living beings that seems universal is perhaps their ability to be modified in a functional way.In order to modelize this characteristic, we designed automata with a finite number of instantaneous internal descriptions, with input(s) and output(s) and which are able to be functionally modified.Author's Profile
