The automaton chronicles [PDF]
, 2018 The French philosopher René Descartes was reputedly fond of automata: they inspired his view that living things were biological machines that function like clockwork. Less known is a strange story that began to circulate after the philosopher’s death in 1650. This centred on Descartes’s daughter Francine, who died of scarlet fever at the age of five.

Wishing for the Watch Face in Jonathan Swift’s “The Progress of Beauty”
ABO : Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts 1640-1830, 2018 This article illuminates the technological underpinnings of Jonathan Swift’s satire, “The Progress of Beauty” (1719), by exploring how eighteenth-century poetics of beauty and scientific progress pit human against automaton.

A cellular automaton model for freeway traffic
, 1992 We introduce a stochastic discrete automaton model to simulate freeway traffic. Monte-Carlo simulations of the model show a transition from laminar traffic flow to start-stop- waves with increasing vehicle density, as is observed in real freeway traffic.

Automaton semigroups and groups: On the undecidability of problems related to freeness and finiteness [PDF]
Israel Journal of Mathematics, 2017 In this paper, we study algorithmic problems for automaton semigroups and automaton groups related to freeness and finiteness. In the course of this study, we also exhibit some connections between the algebraic structure of automaton (semi)groups and ...

Algorithms for Converting Finite Automata Corresponding to Infinite Iterative Trees
Современные информационные технологии и IT-образование, 2021 In this paper, we work with some different variants of finite automata, each of which corresponds to an infinite iterative tree constructed for some given morphism.

Human and Machine: Gender Inversion and the Problem of Artificial Body in the Short Story by Anna Barkova “The Steel Husband” (1926) [PDF]
Литературный фактThe article considers the short story by Anna Barkova, “The Steel Husband,” in many ways: as a point of intersection of several different influences (“pornographic prose” from the heyday of the “women’s question”; the poetry of the Proletcultists, in ...

Thirring quantum cellular automaton [PDF]
, 2017 We analytically diagonalize a discrete-time on-site interacting fermionic cellular automaton in the two-particle sector. Important features of the solutions sensibly differ from those of analogous Hamiltonian models.

Photography as Automaton: Roland Barthes and Fellini’s Mechanical Doll
CoSMO, 2019 The stated purpose of Camera Lucida was to champion photography over cinema; however, at a critical moment in the text Roland Barthes turns to an episode from a film, a scene involving an automaton in Fellini’s Casanova, to expound the notion of the ...
