Abstract

AbstractA sub‐excitable Belousov–Zhabotinsky medium exhibits localized travelling excitations (in contrast to an excitable medium exhibiting target or spiral waves). Initially assymetric perturbations give birth to excitation wave‐fragments. The shape and velocity vectors of the wave‐fragments are conserved, meaning they can travel for substantial distances in the reaction media. When the wave‐fragments collide they may reflect, merge, or annihilate. We interpret wave‐fragments as values of logical variables, and the post‐collision states of the fragments as outputs of logical gates. We show how to cascade logical gates in primitive arithmetical circuits.
