Substitution Systems and Sequential Substitution Systems

Substitution Systems and Sequential Substitution Systems. Substitution Systems. On each step, replaces one cell with 0 or more other cells, depending on the state of the neighborhood Number of cells is not constant, as in CA’s Depending on rules, may grow exponentially This gets “unwieldy”.

  1. Substitution Systems and Sequential Substitution Systems

  2. Substitution Systems • On each step, replaces one cell with 0 or more other cells, depending on the state of the neighborhood • Number of cells is not constant, as in CA’s • Depending on rules, may grow exponentially • This gets “unwieldy”

  3. Representations • Cells are still colored blocks • CA: Each Cell is the same size • SS: Cells of the next step are divided into pieces of the previous state, to prevent unwieldiness • Nested Structure • Trees

  4. More complicated… • Systems that rely on more than self state • Rules that allow cells to disappear • More than 2 states • As complex as CAs

  5. Sequential-Ness • So far, the substitutions are in parallel • What if we do it serially? • And what if we had characters instead of blocks? • sequential substitution system

  6. Relation to CAs • Cellular Automata is a subset of substitution systems • If all substitutions are 1 and only one cell • Therefore, they are of the same complexity

  7. Real World: Bio Computing • Word processors • Prolog
