Cool. I think this shows how computation applies when water behaves like
objects (billiard balls) but does not apply when it remains in a fluid
state. Computation in this case relies on the superhydrophobic or
non-hydrophiliac state of water. The phobic-philiac distinction is not
trivial, as it recapitulates the inner-outer dialectic of self and other.

Towards Computing With Water Droplets: Superhydrophobic Droplet Logic
ScienceDaily (Sep.
7, 2012) ? Researchers in Aalto University have developed a new concept
for computing,
using water droplets as bits of digital information. This was enabled by
the discovery
that upon collision with each other on a highly water-repellent surface,
two water
droplets rebound like billiard balls.
