Asynchronous logic automata
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, 2008.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 89-92).Numerous applications, from high-performance scientific computing to large, high-resolution multi-touch interfaces to strong artificial intelligence, push the practical physical limits of modern computers. Typical computers attempt to hide the physics as much as possible, running software composed of a series of instructions drawn from an arbitrary set to be executed upon data that can be accessed uniformly. However, we submit that by exposing, rather than hiding, the density and velocity of information and the spatially concurrent, asynchronous nature of logic, scaling down in size and up in complexity becomes significantly easier. In particular, we introduce "asynchronous logic automata", which are a specialization of both asynchronous cellular automata and Petri nets, and include Boolean logic primitives in each cell. We also show some example algorithms, means to create circuits, potential hardware implementations, and comparisons to similar models in past practice.by David Allen Dalrymple.S.M
Lost and Found in Mathematics
This book is inspired by a German theoretical physicist, Sabine Hossenfelder’s publication: “Lost in Mathematics”. Her book seems to question highly mathematical and a lot of abstraction in the development of physics and cosmology studies nowadays. There is clear tendency that in recent decades, the physics science has been predominated by such an advanced mathematics, which at times sounding more like acrobatics approach to a reality. Through books by senior mathematical-physicists like Unzicker and Peter Woit, we know that the answer of TOE is not in superstring theories or other variations of such 26 dimensional bosonic string theory, of which none of those theories survived experimental test, but perhaps in low dimensional physics. As Alexander Unzicker suggests, perhaps it is more advisable to consider rotation in 3D space (known as SO3), or a kind of superfluid vortices version of gravitation theory. We can also reconsider proposition by the late Prof F. Winterberg (formerly professor at Univ. Nevada, Reno), that it is most likely that superfluid phonon roton theory in 3D can replace the entire superstring theories. While we don’t explore yet implications of his model to particle physics, we discuss here some published papers at several journals in the past few years

Universal anomalous fluctuations in charged single-file systems
Conventional classification of dynamical phenomena is based on universal
hydrodynamic relaxation characterized by algebraic dynamical exponents and
asymptotic scaling of the dynamical structure factor. This work uncovers a
novel type of dynamical universality reflected in statistical properties of
macroscopic fluctuating observables such as the transmitted charge. By
considering a general class of one-dimensional single-file systems ({meaning
that particle crossings are prohibited}) of interacting hardcore charged
particles, we demonstrate that stringent dynamical constraints give rise to
universal anomalous statistics of cumulative charge currents manifested both on
the timescale characteristic of typical fluctuations and also in the rate
function describing rare events. By computing the full counting statistics of
net transferred charge between two extended subsystems, we establish a number
of unorthodox dynamical properties in an analytic fashion. Most prominently,
typical fluctuations in equilibrium are governed by a universal distribution
that markedly deviates from the expected Gaussian statistics, whereas large
fluctuations are described by an exotic large-deviation rate function featuring
an exceptional triple critical point. Far from equilibrium, competition between
dynamical phases leads to dynamical phase transitions of first and second
order. Despite dynamical criticality, we find the large-deviation rate function
of the joint particle-charge transfer obeys the fluctuation relation.
Curiously, the univariate charge-current rate function experiences a
spontaneous breaking of fluctuation symmetry upon varying the particle and
charge densities in a nonequilibrium initial state. The rich phenomenology of
the outlined dynamical universality is exemplified on an exactly solvable
classical cellular automaton of charged hardcore particles.Comment: 39+5 page
