There was a very interesting article in IEEE Transactions on Computers Vol 37, No 2, Feb. 1988, pages 138-145. It was titled "Embedding Computation in One-Dimentional Automata by Phase Coding Solitons". If anyone is interested in actually building one of these parity-next-state computers in VLSI, please contact me. Earl Culham, ECULHAM@UALTAVM.BITNET
