Blocking Transformations

What hcis not yet been discussed is the reason for this behavioral universality. A possible mechanism may be provided by the apparently ubiquitous phenomenon of attractive rule simulation in blocking transformation networks, a description of which we turn to next. 

Provided that two time steps under R18 are carried out for every one time step of rule R90, it is in fact easy to show that under the block transform... 

Consider the global state ctI = 0011000 , for example, which evolves into ctJ = 0111100 under R90. 02 could equally well be obtained by applying two iterations of R18 to the block-transformed starting state S(dq)= 00001010000000 ... 

Many, possibly all, rules appear to generate asymptotic states which are block-related to configurations evolving according to one of only a small subset of the set of all rules, members of which are left invariant under all block transformations. That is, the infinite time behavior appears to be determined by evolution towards fixed point rule behavior, and the statistical properties of all CA rules can then, in principle, be determined directly from the appropriate block transformations necessary to reach a particular fixed point rule. 

As time increases, S " and S take up arbitrarily large regions of the lattice. The behavior of rule R18 thus approaches that of R90 arbitrarily closely i.e., rule R18 is attracted, to rule R90, via the block transformation defined by equation 3.10. 

Table 3.3 Block-Transformation Simulations for a few selected elementary rules.

We have just seen that rule R18 has essentially one phase that takes two different forms. A general rule typically supports many different phases, each corresponding to simulations of different rules. Not all of these phases will be stable however. For example, of the two R122 phases defined by block transforms Tf =... 

Asymptotic results obtained for additive rules can often be almost immediately extended to certain non-additive rules, by exploiting blocking-transformation relationships. We recall from the discussion in the last section, for example, that the complex rule R18 simulates R90 under a transformation which associates with...

Finally, we comment briefly on the use of symmetry. By making use of the symmetry point group of the molecule, the Fock matrix may be transformed into a blocked form and the eigenvalue problem (3.1) is then solved block by block. Transformation into a blocked form may be performed in different ways which will be not discussed here. We note only that the gain is not very important since the time involved in... 

In all applications, the core problem can be stated as follows. We have a set of constraints that specify what may or may not be used as a starting material and final product of the process, and we are given a set of transformations (steps or reactions) that can be used as building blocks. For each transformation, we know the participating compounds and their stoichiometric coefficients. We need to assemble the transformations into a composite transformation, so that the stoichiometry of this composite transformation satisfies the constraints. This composite transformation may utilize any compound it needs along the way, as long as in the end its net stoichiometry satisfies the constraints. We can think of the construction procedure as assembly of a device from components, or we can abstract it mathematically into the formation of suitable linear combinations of the building-block transformations. In the second view, we should keep in mind that these linear combinations must respect the initial...

The hybridization procedure described in Section 2.2.1 is fulfilled by a sequence of block transformations starting with overlap matrices Sab generated, for convenience, by minimal sets of s and p orbitals. This particularity, however, does not create serious difficulties for possible extensions to more general basis sets. The 4x4 dimensions of the block matrices originally considered have to be only increased in conformity with the size of the bases in question.
