Abstract: Since von Neumann's seminal work around 1950, computer scientists and others have studied the algorithms needed to support self-replicating systems. Much of this wor...
Understanding self-replication from an information processing perspective is important because, amongother things, it can shed light on molecular mechanismsof biological reproduct...

Edgar Codd's 1968 design for a self-replicating cellular automata machine has never been implemented. Partly this is due to its enormous size but we have also identified four...
The spatial cosmic matter distribution on scales of a few up to more than a hundred Megaparsec1 displays a salient and pervasive foamlike pattern. Voronoi tessellations are a vers...
: The Game of Life cellular automaton is a classical example of a massively parallel collision-based computing device. The automaton exhibits mobile patterns, gliders, and generato...
