Chaotic Computing In Practice

Posted by Hemos on from the using-the-machines dept.

codyhess writes "The Economist published a great article detailing efforts to use Chaos in computing - "Speaking at the American Physical Society's annual March conference, William Ditto of the University of Florida told of his efforts to create a 'chaotic computer'." Dr. Ditto can create standard logic gates (AND, OR, etc) that output a value according the their chaotic threshhold. Different logic operations can be performed by simply changing the threshhold, making an incredibly flexible computer that can perfom different functions instantaneously."

    Maybe now we can model the female mind with new Boolean (sic) operators like MAYBE, MAYBE-NOT, and WHATEVER.
