Encapsulating Reaction-Diffusion Computers

摘要

Reaction-diffusion computers employ propagation of chemical and excitation waves to transmit information; they use collisions between traveling wave-fronts to perform computation. We increase applicability domain of the reaction-diffusion computers by encapsulating them in a membrane, in a form of vegetative state, plasmodium, of true slime mold. In such form reaction-diffusion computers can also realize Kolmogorov-Uspensky machine.
