Method and apparatus for simulation of a physical process

Abstract

Abstract In the simulation of a spatially-extended physical process the complete spatial extent of which is defined by a multiplicity of parameters (A), each parameter (A) is represented with a multi-state distinguished sequential digital logic circuit (B) the possible states of which represent the possible states of the pertaining parameter (A). The interaction of each pair of parameters (A) is represented with an interconnection (C) between the pertaining circuits (B). Each logic circuit (B) is initially established in a known state and thereafter at least one circuit (B) is pulsed to cause evolution of the circuits (B) through some or all of their possible states. The states of certain circuits (B) are determined intermittently as a mesure of the corresponding states of the parameters (A).
