What is an elemental computation? Presmably all the information involved can be represented digitally? If so, then it can only take on certain values - a single processor would perhaps be storing a particular number on a given clock cycle. The limiting case would be a single bit - which is what happens in the Game of Life. More likely, if the processors are going to output the universe, they would have to store larger value, but one of a finite range of values. I'm not sure I see how the "active evolution" differs from "sequential data states", given that the computations are synchronised by a universal processing cycle. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
