[comp.theory.cell-automata] Weird Computational Gizmos Wanted

gvw@castle.ed.ac.uk (Greg Wilson) (04/25/91)

I am looking for material which describes alternative (*really*
alternative) computational machines, like cellular automata, the
billiard-ball model, the rope-and-pulley model from Dewdney's column in
Scientific American (I think it was April 88), and the like.  The
wackier the better. 

Please reply to me directly.  If there are enough replies, I will
summarize and re-post. 

Thanks,

Greg Wilson
