A Concrete View of Rule 110 Computation

Rule 110 is a cellular automaton that performs repeated simultaneous updates of an infinite row of binary values. The values are updated in the following way: 0s are changed to 1s at all positions where the value to the right is a 1, while 1s are changed to 0s at all positions where the values to the left and right are both 1. Though trivial to define, the behavior exhibited by Rule 110 is surprisingly intricate, and in (Cook, 2004) we showed that it is capable of emulating the activity of a Turing machine by encoding the Turing machine and its tape into a repeating left pattern, a central pattern, and a repeating right pattern, which Rule 110 then acts on. In this paper we provide an explicit compiler for converting a Turing machine into a Rule 110 initial state, and we present a general approach for proving that such constructions will work as intended. The simulation was originally assumed to require exponential time, but surprising results of Neary and Woods (2006) have shown that in fact, only polynomial time is required. We use the methods of Neary and Woods to exhibit a direct simulation of a Turing machine by a tag system in polynomial time

Women Poets and the Classics, 1700-1750

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, many women writers bemoaned their restricted access to the classics. Through the culture of translation that had been pioneered by John Dryden and the changing literary market of the eighteenth century, however, women readers were able to receive the classics and offered their own adaptations of this ancient material. This thesis outlines the methods of mediation that enabled women to access the classics. Considering the role of the fragment, mythical topoi and the mock-heroic in relation to the reception of Horace, Ovid, and Homer and Virgil respectively, the chapters of this thesis explore the significant use of the classics in women’s poetry of the eighteenth century as a marker of the pervasive presence of the Graeco-Roman world in eighteenth-century society and culture. In 1700 women mourned the death of Dryden in part because of his seminal role in translating the classics; however, by the 1750s, the endpoint of the thesis, women were increasingly recognised as classicists in their own right. This thesis traces this transformation. The women writers here examined are from across the British Isles and from a range of social classes. The writing considered is in both printed and manuscript forms, and wherever possible the biographical contexts of individual women that explain the ways in which they accessed the classics – such as detailing personal libraries or suggesting some of the single volumes the women may have owned or read – are outlined. What emerges throughout this thesis is a national counter-narrative that explores how women found opportunities to experiment with the modes and mythos of the ancient world, and the ways in which they made the classics their own
