   Apr 30, 2024 · Figure 11.5.1 11.5. 1: Visual output of Code 11.5. Left: Initial configuration with p = 0.1 p = 0.1. Right: Final configuration after 20 time steps. This kind of spatial dynamics, driven by propagation of states between adjacent cells that are physically touching each other, are called contact processes.

   Mar 26, 2012 · Cellular automata (henceforth: CA) are discrete, abstract computational systems that have proved useful both as general models of complexity and as more specific representations of non-linear dynamics in a variety of scientific fields. Firstly, CA are (typically) spatially and temporally discrete: they are composed of a finite or denumerable ...

   Abstract. Automata or “self-moving things” occupy a unique place in Descartes’ worldview. Lacking souls, their internal principle of motion must be accounted for wholly in mechanistic terms. Starting from the form of mechanical explanation engineers use to explain the inner workings of artificial automata—the clocks, mills, and fountain ...

   Jan 5, 2016 · Aristotelians hold that animals are automata: self-movement distinguishes living things among natural things. For Descartes, the issue is not whether animals are self-movers, but how to accommodate that fact in a mechanistic physiology. He can be seen to have divided the problem into two: (1) the self-movement of the animal during its lifetime ...

   Nov 1, 2012 · The automata theory is the mathematical study of abstract machines commonly studied in the theoretical computer science. 2 Using these abstract machines called automata (singular, automaton), the computational problems can be properly solved. A finite-state automaton (FSA), known as the finite-state machine is a behavioral model used to design the computer programs, which is composed of a ...

   V. The motion of any given portion of the matter of the brain excited by the motion of asensory nerve, leaves behind a readiness to be moved in the same way, in that part. Anythingwhich resuscitates the motion gives rise to the appropriate feeling. This is the physicalmechanism of memory.

   Are animals automata?

   • All translations are taken from the latter, unless other-wise noted. Of course, for Descartes, animals are automata, as they are self-moving machines. For the sake of clarity, I will use the term ‘automata’ to refer specifically to non-natural (i.e., man-made) self-moving machines.

   What is an example of an automaton?

   • One can exhaustively describe, for instance, the automaton of our classroom example: 1-dimensional lattice of square cells on a line. Each cell’s neighborhood is composed by the two nearest cells. If we index the cells by the integers, so that ci c i otherwise.

   Can a non-natural automata be considered living?

   • For Descartes, non-natural automata can never be considered living, as they can never exhibit the complexity with which only a divine creator can fashion a thing.

   What is the difference between an automaton and a self-mover?

   • An automaton, on the other hand, is a self-mover, the proximate cause of certain of its own changes. The classical automata of antiquity were self-movers but not in every case machines. Aristotelians hold that animals are automata: self-movement distinguishes living things among natural things.

   What does Descartes say about automata?

   • In the Meditations, the meditator wonders whether beneath the cloaks and gowns he sees outside his window there are humans or automata (AT VII 32, CSM II 21). Most memorably, in the Discourse Descartes explains how an automaton with a soul may be distinguished from one without (AT VI 55–56, CSM I 139–40).
