The task ahead is to chart a course from general ideas about ''transformational equivalence classes of graphs'' to a notion of ''differential analytic turing automata'' (DATA).  It may be a while before we get within sight of that goal, but it will provide a better measure of motivation to name the thread after the envisioned end rather than the more homely starting place.
  
My aim is to chart a course from general ideas about ''transformational equivalence classes of graphs'' to a notion of ''differential analytic turing automata'' (DATA).  It may be a while before we get within sight of that goal, but it will provide some measure of motivation to name the thread after the envisioned end rather than the more homely starting place.
+
The basic idea is as follows.  One has a set <math>\mathcal{G}</math> of graphs and a set <math>\mathcal{T}</math> of transformation rules, and each rule <math>\mathrm{t} \in \mathcal{T}</math> has the effect of transforming graphs into graphs, <math>\mathrm{t} : \mathcal{G} \to \mathcal{G}.</math>  In the cases that we shall be studying, this set of transformation rules partitions the set of graphs into ''transformational equivalence classes'' (TECs).
 
 
The basic idea here is that you have a species of graphs and a set of transformation rules that take you from one graph to another &mdash; and back again, as I'm only thinking of equational rules &mdash; and this partitions the species of graphs into ''transformational equivalence classes'' (TECs).
 
  
 
There are many interesting excursions to be had here, but I will focus mainly on logical applications, and and so the TECs I talk about will almost always have the character of ''logical equivalence classes'' (LECs).

An example that will figure heavily in the sequel is given by rooted trees as the species of graphs and a pair of equational transformation rules that derive from the graphical calculi of [[C.S. Peirce]], as revived and extended by George Spencer Brown.

I will be making use of the ''cactus language'' extension of Peirce's Alpha Graphs, so called because it uses a species of graphs that are usually called "cacti" in graph theory.  The last exposition of the cactus syntax that I've written can be found here:

The representational and computational efficiency of the cactus language for the tasks that are usually associated with boolean algebra and propositional calculus makes it possible to entertain a further extension, to what we may call ''differential logic'', because it develops this basic level of logic in the same way that differential calculus augments analytic geometry to handle change and diversity.  There are several different introductions to differential logic that I have written and distributed across the Internet.  You might start with the following couple of treatments:

One more example may serve to suggest just how much dynamic complexity can be built on a universe of discourse that has but a single logical feature at its base.  But first, there are a few more elements of general notation that that we'll need to describe finite dimensional universes of discourse and the qualitative dynamics that we envision occurring in them.
  
But first, let me introduce a few more elements of general notation that I'll be using to describe finite dimensional universes of discourse and the qualitative dynamics that we envision occurring in them.

Let <math>\mathcal{X} = \{ x_1, \ldots, x_n \}\!</math> be the ''alphabet'' of logical ''features'' or ''variables'' that are used to describe the <math>n\!</math>-dimensional universe of discourse <math>X^\bullet = [\mathcal{X}]\!</math> <math>= [x_1, \ldots, x_n].\!</math>  One may picture a venn diagram whose <math>n\!</math> overlapping &ldquo;circles&rdquo; are labeled with the feature names in <math>\mathcal{X}.\!</math>  Staying with this picture, one visualizes the universe of discourse <math>X^\bullet = [\mathcal{X}]\!</math> as having two layers:
  
Let <math>\mathcal{X} = \{ x_1, \ldots, x_n \}</math> be the ''alphabet'' of logical ''features'' or ''variables'' that we use to describe the n-dimensional universe of discourse <math>X^\circ = [\mathcal{X}] = [ x_1, \ldots, x_n ].</math>  Picturesquely viewed, one may think of a venn diagram with n overlapping "circles" that are labeled with the feature names in the set <math>\mathcal{X}.</math>  Staying with this picture, one visualizes the universe of discourse <math>X^\circ = [\mathcal{X}]</math> as having two layers:  (1) the set <math>X = \langle \mathcal{X} \rangle = \langle x_1, \dots, x_n \rangle</math> of ''points'' or ''cells'' &mdash; in another sense of the word than when we speak of ''cellular automata'' &mdash; (2) the set <math>X^\uparrow = (X \to \mathbb{B})</math> of ''propositions'', boolean-valued functions, or maps from <math>X\!</math> to <math>\mathbb{B}.</math>

# The set <math>X = \langle \mathcal{X} \rangle = \langle x_1, \dots, x_n \rangle\!</math> of ''points'' or ''cells'' &mdash; the latter used in another sense of the word than when we speak of ''cellular automata''.

# The set <math>X^\uparrow = (X \to \mathbb{B})\!</math> of ''propositions'', boolean-valued functions, or maps from <math>X\!</math> to <math>\mathbb{B}.\!</math>
  
Thus, we may speak of the universe of discourse <math>X^\circ</math> as being an ordered pair <math>(X, X^\uparrow),</math> with <math>2^n\!</math> points in the underlying space <math>X\!</math> and <math>2^{2^n}</math> propositions in the function space <math>X^\uparrow.</math>

Since <math>d^4 x\!</math> and all higher order <math>d^j x\!</math> are fixed, the entire dynamics can be plotted in the extended space <math>\operatorname{E}^3 X = \langle x, dx, d^2 x, d^3 x \rangle.</math>  Thus, there is just enough room in a planar venn diagram to plot both orbits and to show how they partition the points of <math>\operatorname{E}^3 X.</math> As it turns out, there are exactly two possible orbits, of eight points each, as illustrated in Figures&nbsp;16-a and 16-b.

Justifying a notion of approximation is a little more involved in general, and especially in these discrete logical spaces, than it would be expedient for people in a hurry to tangle with right now.  I will just say that there are ''naive'' or ''obvious'' notions and there are ''sophisticated'' or ''subtle'' notions that we might choose among.  The later would engage us in trying to construct proper logical analogues of Lie derivatives, and so let's save that for when we have become subtle or sophisticated or both.  Against or toward that day, as you wish, let's begin with an option in plain view.

In my work on "[[Directory:Jon_Awbrey/Papers/Differential_Logic_and_Dynamic_Systems_2.0|Differential Logic and Dynamic Systems]]", I found it useful to develop several different ways of visualizing logical transformations, indeed, I devised four distinct styles of picture for the job.  Thus far in our work on the mapping <math>F : [u, v] \to [u, v],\!</math> we've been making use of what I call the ''areal view'' of the extended universe of discourse, <math>[u, v, du, dv],\!</math> but as the number of dimensions climbs beyond four, it's time to bid this genre adieu, and look for a style that can scale a little better.  At any rate, before we proceed any further, let's first assemble the information that we have gathered about <math>F\!</math> from several different angles, and see if it can be fitted into a coherent picture of the transformation <math>F : (u, v) \mapsto ( ~\texttt{((u)(v))}~, ~\texttt{((u, v))}~ ).</math>

Interpretation of the Propositional Program (cont.)
+
o-------------------------------------------------o
 
+
|                                                |
The propositional program for Stunt(2) uses the following set
+
| p0_q0                                          |
of (9 + 12 + 36) = 57 basic propositions or boolean variables:
 
 
 
  p0_r0, p0_r1, p0_r2,
 
  p1_r0, p1_r1, p1_r2,
 
  p2_r0, p2_r1, p2_r2.
 
 
 
  p0_q#, p0_q*, p0_q0, p0_q1,
 
  p1_q#, p1_q*, p1_q0, p1_q1,
 
  p2_q#, p2_q*, p2_q0, p2_q1.
 
 
 
  p0_r0_s#, p0_r0_s*, p0_r0_s0, p0_r0_s1,
 
  p0_r1_s#, p0_r1_s*, p0_r1_s0, p0_r1_s1,
 
  p0_r2_s#, p0_r2_s*, p0_r2_s0, p0_r2_s1,
 
 
 
  p1_r0_s#, p1_r0_s*, p1_r0_s0, p1_r0_s1,
 
  p1_r1_s#, p1_r1_s*, p1_r1_s0, p1_r1_s1,
 
  p1_r2_s#, p1_r2_s*, p1_r2_s0, p1_r2_s1,
 
 
 
  p2_r0_s#, p2_r0_s*, p2_r0_s0, p2_r0_s1,
 
  p2_r1_s#, p2_r1_s*, p2_r1_s0, p2_r1_s1,
 
  p2_r2_s#, p2_r2_s*, p2_r2_s0, p2_r2_s1.
 
 
 
This means that the propositional program itself is nothing more or
 
less than a single proposition or a boolean function P : B^57 -> B.
 
 
 
An assignment of boolean values to the above set of boolean variables
 
is called an "interpretation" of P, and any interpretation of P that
 
makes the proposition P : B^57 -> B evaluate to 1 is referred to as
 
a "satisfying interpretation" of the proposition P.  Another way to
 
specify interpretations, instead of giving them as bit vectors in
 
B^57 and trying to remember some arbitrary ordering of variables,
 
is to give them in the form of "singular propositions", that is,
 
a conjunction of the form "e_1 & ... & e_57" where each e_j is
 
either "v_j" or "(v_j)", that is, either the assertion or the
 
negation of the boolean variable v_j, as j runs from 1 to 57.
 
Even more briefly, the same information can be communicated
 
simply by giving the conjunction of the asserted variables,
 
with the understanding that each of the others is negated.
 
 
 
A satisfying interpretation of the proposition P supplies us
 
with all the information of a complete execution history for
 
the corresponding program, and so all we have to do in order
 
to get the output of the program P is to read off the proper
 
part of the data from the expression of this interpretation.

Interpretation of the Propositional Program (concl.)
 
 
 
One component of the Theme One program that I wrote some years ago

in cactus syntax.  It's not a polynomial time algorithm, as you may
 
guess, but it was just barely efficient enough to do this example
 
in the 500 K of spare memory that I had on an old 286 PC in about

PD = Philip Dutton
 
 
 
PD: I've been watching your posts.
 
 
 
PD: I am not an expert on logic infrastructures but I find the posts
 
    interesting (despite not understanding much of it).  I am like
 
    the diagrams.  I have recently been trying to understand CA's
 
    using a particular perspective:  sinks and sources.  I think
 
    that all CA's are simply combinations of sinks and sources.
 
    How they interact (or intrude into each other's domains)
 
    would most likely be a result of the rules (and initial
 
    configuration of on or off cells).
 
 
 
PD: Anyway, to be short, I "see" diamond shapes quite often in
 
    your diagrams.  Triangles (either up or down) or diamonds
 
    (combination of an up and down triangle) make me think
 
    soley of sinks and sources.  I think of the diamond to
 
    be a source which, during the course of progression,
 
    is expanding (because it is producing) and then starts
 
    to act as a sink  (because it consumes) -- and hence the
 
    diamond.  I can't stop thinking about sinks and sources in
 
    CA's and so I thought I would ask you if there is some way
 
    to tie the two worlds together (CA's of sinks and sources
 
    together with your differential constructs).
 
  
PD: Any thoughts?

The output of <math>\mathrm{Stunt}(2)</math> being the symbol that rests under the tape head <math>\mathrm{H}</math> when and if the machine <math>\mathrm{M}</math> reaches one of its resting states, we get the result that <math>\mathrm{Parity}(1) = 1.</math>
 
 
Yes, I'm hoping that there's a lot of stuff analogous to
 
R-world dynamics to be discovered in this B-world variety,
 
indeed, that's kind of why I set out on this investigation --
 
oh, gee, has it been that long? -- I guess about 1989 or so,
 
when I started to see this "differential logic" angle on what
 
I had previously studied in systems theory as the "qualitative
 
approach to differential equations".  I think we used to use the
 
words "attractor" and "basin" more often than "sink", but a source
 
is still a source as time goes by, and I do remember using the word
 
"sink" a lot when I was a freshperson in physics, before I got logic.
 
 
 
I have spent the last 15 years doing a funny mix of practice in stats
 
and theory in math, but I did read early works by Von Neumann, Burks,
 
Ulam, and later stuff by Holland on CA's.  Still, it may be a while
 
before I have re-heated my concrete intuitions about them in the
 
NKS way of thinking.
 
 
 
There are some fractal-looking pictures that emerge when
 
I turn to "higher order propositional expressions" (HOPE's).
 
I have discussed this topic elswhere on the web and can look
 
it up now if your are interested, but I am trying to make my
 
e-positions somewhat clearer for the NKS forum than I have
 
tried to do before.
 
 
 
But do not hestitate to dialogue all this stuff on the boards,
 
as that's what always seems to work the best.  What I've found
 
works best for me, as I can hardly remember what I was writing
 
last month without Google, is to archive a copy at one of the
 
other Google-visible discussion lists that I'm on at present.

Latest revision as of 15:30, 11 October 2013

Author: Jon Awbrey

The task ahead is to chart a course from general ideas about transformational equivalence classes of graphs to a notion of differential analytic turing automata (DATA). It may be a while before we get within sight of that goal, but it will provide a better measure of motivation to name the thread after the envisioned end rather than the more homely starting place.

The basic idea is as follows. One has a set \(\mathcal{G}\) of graphs and a set \(\mathcal{T}\) of transformation rules, and each rule \(\mathrm{t} \in \mathcal{T}\) has the effect of transforming graphs into graphs, \(\mathrm{t} : \mathcal{G} \to \mathcal{G}.\) In the cases that we shall be studying, this set of transformation rules partitions the set of graphs into transformational equivalence classes (TECs).

There are many interesting excursions to be had here, but I will focus mainly on logical applications, and and so the TECs I talk about will almost always have the character of logical equivalence classes (LECs).

An example that will figure heavily in the sequel is given by rooted trees as the species of graphs and a pair of equational transformation rules that derive from the graphical calculi of C.S. Peirce, as revived and extended by George Spencer Brown.

Here are the fundamental transformation rules, also referred to as the arithmetic axioms, more precisely, the arithmetic initials.

PERS Figure 01.jpg (1)
PERS Figure 02.jpg (2)

That should be enough to get started.

Cactus Language

I will be making use of the cactus language extension of Peirce's Alpha Graphs, so called because it uses a species of graphs that are usually called "cacti" in graph theory. The last exposition of the cactus syntax that I've written can be found here:

The representational and computational efficiency of the cactus language for the tasks that are usually associated with boolean algebra and propositional calculus makes it possible to entertain a further extension, to what we may call differential logic, because it develops this basic level of logic in the same way that differential calculus augments analytic geometry to handle change and diversity. There are several different introductions to differential logic that I have written and distributed across the Internet. You might start with the following couple of treatments:

I will draw on those previously advertised resources of notation and theory as needed, but right now I sense the need for some concrete examples.

Example 1

Let's say we have a system that is known by the name of its state space \(X\!\) and we have a boolean state variable \(x : X \to \mathbb{B},\!\) where \(\mathbb{B} = \{ 0, 1 \}.\!\)

We observe \(X\!\) for a while, relative to a discrete time frame, and we write down the following sequence of values for \(x.\!\)

\(\begin{array}{c|c} t & x \'"`UNIQ-MathJax1-QINU`"' in other words'"`UNIQ-MathJax2-QINU`"' =='"`UNIQ--h-10--QINU`"'Notions of Approximation== {| cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="100%" | width="60%" |   | width="40%" | for equalities are so weighed<br> that curiosity in neither can<br> make choice of either's moiety. |- | height="50px" |   | valign="top" | — ''King Lear'', Sc.1.5–7 (Quarto) |- |   | for qualities are so weighed<br> that curiosity in neither can<br> make choice of either's moiety.<br> |- | height="50px" |   | valign="top" | — ''King Lear'', 1.1.5–6 (Folio) |} Justifying a notion of approximation is a little more involved in general, and especially in these discrete logical spaces, than it would be expedient for people in a hurry to tangle with right now. I will just say that there are ''naive'' or ''obvious'' notions and there are ''sophisticated'' or ''subtle'' notions that we might choose among. The later would engage us in trying to construct proper logical analogues of Lie derivatives, and so let's save that for when we have become subtle or sophisticated or both. Against or toward that day, as you wish, let's begin with an option in plain view. Figure 1.4 illustrates one way of ranging over the cells of the underlying universe \(U^\bullet = [u, v]\!\) and selecting at each cell the linear proposition in \(\mathrm{d}U^\bullet = [\mathrm{d}u, \mathrm{d}v]\!\) that best approximates the patch of the difference map \({\mathrm{D}f}\!\) that is located there, yielding the following formula for the differential \(\mathrm{d}f.\!\)

\(\begin{array}{*{11}{c}} \mathrm{d}f & = & \mathrm{d}\texttt{((} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{))} & = & uv \cdot 0 & + & u \texttt{(} v \texttt{)} \cdot \mathrm{d}u & + & \texttt{(} u \texttt{)} v \cdot \mathrm{d}v & + & \texttt{(} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{)} \cdot \texttt{(} \mathrm{d}u \texttt{,~} \mathrm{d}v \texttt{)} \end{array}\)

Figure 2.4.  dg = linear approx to Dg

Well, \(g,\!\) that was easy, seeing as how \(\mathrm{D}g\!\) is already linear at each locus, \(\mathrm{d}g = \mathrm{D}g.\!\)

Analytic Series

We have been conducting the differential analysis of the logical transformation \(F : [u, v] \mapsto [u, v]\!\) defined as \(F : (u, v) \mapsto ( ~ \texttt{((} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{))} ~,~ \texttt{((} u \texttt{,~} v \texttt{))} ~ ),\!\) and this means starting with the extended transformation \(\mathrm{E}F : [u, v, \mathrm{d}u, \mathrm{d}v] \to [u, v, \mathrm{d}u, \mathrm{d}v]\!\) and breaking it into an analytic series, \(\mathrm{E}F = F + \mathrm{d}F + \mathrm{d}^2 F + \ldots,\!\) and so on until there is nothing left to analyze any further.

As a general rule, one proceeds by way of the following stages:

\(\begin{array}{*{6}{l}} 1. & \mathrm{E}F & = & \mathrm{d}^0 F & + & \mathrm{r}^0 F \\ 2. & \mathrm{r}^0 F & = & \mathrm{d}^1 F & + & \mathrm{r}^1 F \\ 3. & \mathrm{r}^1 F & = & \mathrm{d}^2 F & + & \mathrm{r}^2 F \\ 4. & \ldots \end{array}\)

In our analysis of the transformation \(F,\!\) we carried out Step 1 in the more familiar form \(\mathrm{E}F = F + \mathrm{D}F\!\) and we have just reached Step 2 in the form \(\mathrm{D}F = \mathrm{d}F + \mathrm{r}F,\!\) where \(\mathrm{r}F\!\) is the residual term that remains for us to examine next.

Note. I'm am trying to give quick overview here, and this forces me to omit many picky details. The picky reader may wish to consult the more detailed presentation of this material at the following locations:

Let's push on with the analysis of the transformation:

\(\begin{matrix} F & : & (u, v) & \mapsto & (f(u, v), g(u, v)) & = & ( ~ \texttt{((} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{))} ~,~ \texttt{((} u \texttt{,~} v \texttt{))} ~) \end{matrix}\)

For ease of comparison and computation, I will collect the Figures that we need for the remainder of the work together on one page.

Computation Summary for Logical Disjunction

Figure 1.1 shows the expansion of \(f = \texttt{((} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{))}\!\) over \([u, v]\!\) to produce the expression:

\(\begin{matrix} uv & + & u \texttt{(} v \texttt{)} & + & \texttt{(} u \texttt{)} v \end{matrix}\)

Figure 1.2 shows the expansion of \(\mathrm{E}f = \texttt{((} u + \mathrm{d}u \texttt{)(} v + \mathrm{d}v \texttt{))}\!\) over \([u, v]\!\) to produce the expression:

\(\begin{matrix} uv \cdot \texttt{(} \mathrm{d}u ~ \mathrm{d}v \texttt{)} & + & u \texttt{(} v \texttt{)} \cdot \texttt{(} \mathrm{d}u \texttt{(} \mathrm{d}v \texttt{))} & + & \texttt{(} u \texttt{)} v \cdot \texttt{((} \mathrm{d}u \texttt{)} \mathrm{d}v \texttt{)} & + & \texttt{(} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{)} \cdot \texttt{((} \mathrm{d}u \texttt{)(} \mathrm{d}v \texttt{))} \end{matrix}\)

In general, \(\mathrm{E}f\!\) tells you what you would have to do, from wherever you are in the universe \([u, v],\!\) if you want to end up in a place where \(f\!\) is true. In this case, where the prevailing proposition \(f\!\) is \(\texttt{((} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{))},\!\) the indication \(uv \cdot \texttt{(} \mathrm{d}u ~ \mathrm{d}v \texttt{)}\!\) of \(\mathrm{E}f\!\) tells you this: If \(u\!\) and \(v\!\) are both true where you are, then just don't change both \(u\!\) and \(v\!\) at once, and you will end up in a place where \(\texttt{((} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{))}\!\) is true.

Figure 1.3 shows the expansion of \(\mathrm{D}f\) over \([u, v]\!\) to produce the expression:

\(\begin{matrix} uv \cdot \mathrm{d}u ~ \mathrm{d}v & + & u \texttt{(} v \texttt{)} \cdot \mathrm{d}u \texttt{(} \mathrm{d}v \texttt{)} & + & \texttt{(} u \texttt{)} v \cdot \texttt{(} \mathrm{d}u \texttt{)} \mathrm{d}v & + & \texttt{(} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{)} \cdot \texttt{((} \mathrm{d}u \texttt{)(} \mathrm{d}v \texttt{))} \end{matrix}\)

In general, \({\mathrm{D}f}\!\) tells you what you would have to do, from wherever you are in the universe \([u, v],\!\) if you want to bring about a change in the value of \(f,\!\) that is, if you want to get to a place where the value of \(f\!\) is different from what it is where you are. In the present case, where the reigning proposition \(f\!\) is \(\texttt{((} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{))},\!\) the term \(uv \cdot \mathrm{d}u ~ \mathrm{d}v\!\) of \({\mathrm{D}f}\!\) tells you this: If \(u\!\) and \(v\!\) are both true where you are, then you would have to change both \(u\!\) and \(v\!\) in order to reach a place where the value of \(f\!\) is different from what it is where you are.

Figure 1.4 approximates \({\mathrm{D}f}\!\) by the linear form \(\mathrm{d}f\!\) that expands over \([u, v]\!\) as follows:

\(\begin{matrix} \mathrm{d}f & = & uv \cdot 0 & + & u \texttt{(} v \texttt{)} \cdot \mathrm{d}u & + & \texttt{(} u \texttt{)} v \cdot \mathrm{d}v & + & \texttt{(} u \texttt{)(} v \texttt{)} \cdot \texttt{(} \mathrm{d}u \texttt{,~} \mathrm{d}v \texttt{)} \'"`UNIQ-MathJax3-QINU`"' Another way to convey the same information is by means of the extended proposition'"`UNIQ-MathJax4-QINU`"' {| align="center" cellpadding="8" style="text-align:center" | \(\text{Orbit 2}\!\)

\(\begin{array}{c|cc|cc|cc|} t & u & v & \mathrm{d}u & \mathrm{d}v & \mathrm{d}^2 u & \mathrm{d}^2 v \\[8pt] 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 3 & {}^\shortparallel & {}^\shortparallel & {}^\shortparallel & {}^\shortparallel & {}^\shortparallel & {}^\shortparallel \end{array}\)

A more fine combing of the second Table brings to mind a rule that partly covers the remaining cases, that is, \(\mathrm{d}u = v, ~ \mathrm{d}v = \texttt{(} u \texttt{)}.\!\) This much information about Orbit 2 is also encapsulated by the extended proposition \(\texttt{(} uv \texttt{)((} \mathrm{d}u \texttt{,} v \texttt{))(} \mathrm{d}v, u \texttt{)},\!\) which says that \(u\!\) and \(v\!\) are not both true at the same time, while \(\mathrm{d}u\!\) is equal in value to \(v\!\) and \(\mathrm{d}v\!\) is opposite in value to \(u.\!\)

Turing Machine Example

See Theme One Program for documentation of the cactus graph syntax and the propositional modeling program used below.

By way of providing a simple illustration of Cook's Theorem, namely, that “Propositional Satisfiability is NP-Complete”, I will describe one way to translate finite approximations of turing machines into propositional expressions, using the cactus language syntax for propositional calculus that I will describe in more detail as we proceed.

\(\mathrm{Stilt}(k) =\!\)
Space and time limited turing machine,
with \(k\!\) units of space and \(k\!\) units of time.
\(\mathrm{Stunt}(k) =\!\)
Space and time limited turing machine,
for computing the parity of a bit string, with number of tape cells of input equal to \(k.\!\)

I will follow the pattern of discussion in Herbert Wilf (1986), Algorithms and Complexity, pp. 188–201, but translate his logical formalism into cactus language, which is more efficient in regard to the number of propositional clauses that are required.

A turing machine for computing the parity of a bit string is described by means of the following Figure and Table.

The TM has a finite automaton (FA) as one component. Let us refer to this particular FA by the name of \(\mathrm{M}.\)

The tape head (that is, the read unit) will be called \(\mathrm{H}.\) The registers are also called tape cells or tape squares.

Finite Approximations

To see how each finite approximation to a given turing machine can be given a purely propositional description, one fixes the parameter \(k\!\) and limits the rest of the discussion to describing \(\mathrm{Stilt}(k),\!\) which is not really a full-fledged TM anymore but just a finite automaton in disguise.

In this example, for the sake of a minimal illustration, we choose \(k = 2,\!\) and discuss \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2).\) Since the zeroth tape cell and the last tape cell are both occupied by the character \(^{\backprime\backprime}\texttt{\#}^{\prime\prime}\) that is used for both the beginning of file \((\mathrm{bof})\) and the end of file \((\mathrm{eof})\) markers, this allows for only one digit of significant computation.

To translate \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2)\) into propositional form we use the following collection of basic propositions, boolean variables, or logical features, depending on what one prefers to call them:

The basic propositions for describing the present state function \(\mathrm{QF} : P \to Q\) are these:

The proposition of the form \(\texttt{pi\_rj\_sk}\) says:

At the point-in-time \(p_i,\!\) the tape cell \(r_j\!\) bears the mark \(s_k.\!\)

Initial Conditions

Given but a single free square on the tape, there are just two different sets of initial conditions for \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2),\) the finite approximation to the parity turing machine that we are presently considering.

Initial Conditions for Tape Input "0"

The following conjunction of 5 basic propositions describes the initial conditions when \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2)\) is started with an input of "0" in its free square:

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{p0\_q0} \\ \\ \texttt{p0\_r1} \\ \\ \texttt{p0\_r0\_s\#} \\ \texttt{p0\_r1\_s0} \\ \texttt{p0\_r2\_s\#} \end{array}\)

This conjunction of basic propositions may be read as follows:

At time \(p_0,\!\) machine \(\mathrm{M}\) is in the state \(q_0,\!\)

At time \(p_0,\!\) scanner \(\mathrm{H}\) is reading cell \(r_1,\!\)

At time \(p_0,\!\) cell \(r_0\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{\#},\)

At time \(p_0,\!\) cell \(r_1\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{0},\)

At time \(p_0,\!\) cell \(r_2\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{\#}.\)

Initial Conditions for Tape Input "1"

The following conjunction of 5 basic propositions describes the initial conditions when \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2)\) is started with an input of "1" in its free square:

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{p0\_q0} \\ \\ \texttt{p0\_r1} \\ \\ \texttt{p0\_r0\_s\#} \\ \texttt{p0\_r1\_s1} \\ \texttt{p0\_r2\_s\#} \end{array}\)

This conjunction of basic propositions may be read as follows:

At time \(p_0,\!\) machine \(\mathrm{M}\) is in the state \(q_0,\!\)

At time \(p_0,\!\) scanner \(\mathrm{H}\) is reading cell \(r_1,\!\)

At time \(p_0,\!\) cell \(r_0\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{\#},\)

At time \(p_0,\!\) cell \(r_1\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{1},\)

At time \(p_0,\!\) cell \(r_2\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{\#}.\)

Propositional Program

A complete description of \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2)\) in propositional form is obtained by conjoining one of the above choices for initial conditions with all of the following sets of propositions, that serve in effect as a simple type of declarative program, telling us all that we need to know about the anatomy and behavior of the truncated TM in question.

Transition Relations

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{(~p0\_q0~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s0~~(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r1\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q0~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s1~~(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r1\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q0~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s\#~~(~p1\_q\#~~p1\_r0~~p1\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q0~~p0\_r2~~p0\_r2\_s\#~~(~p1\_q\#~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r2\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q1~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s0~~(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r1\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q1~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s1~~(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r1\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q1~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s\#~~(~p1\_q*~~p1\_r0~~p1\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q1~~p0\_r2~~p0\_r2\_s\#~~(~p1\_q*~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r2\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s0~~(~p2\_q0~~p2\_r2~~p2\_r1\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s1~~(~p2\_q1~~p2\_r2~~p2\_r1\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s\#~~(~p2\_q\#~~p2\_r0~~p2\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r2\_s\#~~(~p2\_q\#~~p2\_r1~~p2\_r2\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s0~~(~p2\_q1~~p2\_r2~~p2\_r1\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s1~~(~p2\_q0~~p2\_r2~~p2\_r1\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s\#~~(~p2\_q*~~p2\_r0~~p2\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r2\_s\#~~(~p2\_q*~~p2\_r1~~p2\_r2\_s\#~))} \end{array}\)

Interpretation of the Propositional Program

Let us now run through the propositional specification of \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2),\) our truncated TM, and paraphrase what it says in ordinary language.

Mediate Conditions

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{(~p0\_q\#~(~p1\_q\#~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q*~(~p1\_q*~))} \\ \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q\#~(~p2\_q\#~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q*~(~p2\_q*~))} \end{array}\)

In the interpretation of the cactus language for propositional logic that we are using here, an expression of the form \(\texttt{(p(q))}\) expresses a conditional, an implication, or an if-then proposition, commonly read in one of the following ways:

\(\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{not}~ p ~\mathrm{without}~ q \\[4pt] p ~\mathrm{implies}~ q \\[4pt] \mathrm{if}~ p ~\mathrm{then}~ q \\[4pt] p \Rightarrow q \end{array}\)

A text string expression of the form \(\texttt{(p(q))}\) corresponds to a graph-theoretic data-structure of the following form:


o---------------------------------------o
|                                       |
|                 p   q                 |
|                 o---o                 |
|                 |                     |
|                 @                     |
|                                       |
o---------------------------------------o
|               ( p ( q ))              |
o---------------------------------------o


Taken together, the Mediate Conditions state the following:

If \(\mathrm{M}\) at \(p_0\!\) is in state \(q_\#,\!\) then \(\mathrm{M}\) at \(p_1\!\) is in state \(q_\#,\!\) and

If \(\mathrm{M}\) at \(p_0\!\) is in state \(q_*,\!\) then \(\mathrm{M}\) at \(p_1\!\) is in state \(q_*,\!\) and

If \(\mathrm{M}\) at \(p_1\!\) is in state \(q_\#,\!\) then \(\mathrm{M}\) at \(p_2\!\) is in state \(q_\#,\!\) and

If \(\mathrm{M}\) at \(p_1\!\) is in state \(q_*,\!\) then \(\mathrm{M}\) at \(p_2\!\) is in state \(q_*.\!\)

Terminal Conditions

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{((~p2\_q\#~)(~p2\_q*~))} \end{array}\)

In cactus syntax, an expression of the form \(\texttt{((p)(q))}\) expresses the disjunction \(p ~\mathrm{or}~ q.\) The corresponding cactus graph, here just a tree, has the following shape:


o---------------------------------------o
|                                       |
|                 p   q                 |
|                 o   o                 |
|                  \ /                  |
|                   o                   |
|                   |                   |
|                   @                   |
|                                       |
o---------------------------------------o
|               ((p) (q))               |
o---------------------------------------o


In effect, the Terminal Conditions state the following:

At time \(p_2\!\) machine \(\mathrm{M}\) is in state \(q_\#,\!\) or

At time \(p_2\!\) machine \(\mathrm{M}\) is in state \(q_*.\!\)

State Partition

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{((~p0\_q0~),(~p0\_q1~),(~p0\_q\#~),(~p0\_q*~))} \\ \texttt{((~p1\_q0~),(~p1\_q1~),(~p1\_q\#~),(~p1\_q*~))} \\ \texttt{((~p2\_q0~),(~p2\_q1~),(~p2\_q\#~),(~p2\_q*~))} \end{array}\)

In cactus syntax, an expression of the form \(\texttt{((} e_1 \texttt{),(} e_2 \texttt{),(} \ldots \texttt{),(} e_k \texttt{))}\!\) expresses a statement to the effect that exactly one of the expressions \(e_j\!\) is true, for \(j = 1 ~\mathit{to}~ k.\) Expressions of this form are called universal partition expressions, and the corresponding painted and rooted cactus (PARC) has the following shape:


o---------------------------------------o
|                                       |
|         e_1   e_2   ...   e_k         |
|          o     o           o          |
|          |     |           |          |
|          o-----o--- ... ---o          |
|           \               /           |
|            \             /            |
|             \           /             |
|              \         /              |
|               \       /               |
|                \     /                |
|                 \   /                 |
|                  \ /                  |
|                   @                   |
|                                       |
o---------------------------------------o
|       ((e_1),(e_2),(...),(e_k))       |
o---------------------------------------o


The State Partition segment of the propositional program consists of three universal partition expressions, taken in conjunction expressing the condition that \(\mathrm{M}\) has to be in one and only one of its states at each point in time under consideration. In short, we have the constraint:

At each of the points in time \(p_i,\!\) for \(i\!\) in the set \(\{ 0, 1, 2 \},\!\)

\(\mathrm{M}\) can be in exactly one state \(q_j,\!\) for \(j\!\) in the set \(\{ 0, 1, \#, * \}.\!\)

Register Partition

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{((~p0\_r0~),(~p0\_r1~),(~p0\_r2~))} \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r0~),(~p1\_r1~),(~p1\_r2~))} \\ \texttt{((~p2\_r0~),(~p2\_r1~),(~p2\_r2~))} \end{array}\)

The Register Partition segment of the propositional program consists of three universal partition expressions, taken in conjunction saying that the read head \(\mathrm{H}\) must be reading one and only one of the registers or tape cells available to it at each of the points in time under consideration. In sum:

At each of the points in time \(p_i,\!\) for \(i = 0, 1, 2,\!\)

\(\mathrm{H}\) is reading exactly one cell \(r_j,\!\) for \(j = 0, 1, 2.\!\)

Symbol Partition

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{((~p0\_r0\_s0~),(~p0\_r0\_s1~),(~p0\_r0\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{((~p0\_r1\_s0~),(~p0\_r1\_s1~),(~p0\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{((~p0\_r2\_s0~),(~p0\_r2\_s1~),(~p0\_r2\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r0\_s0~),(~p1\_r0\_s1~),(~p1\_r0\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r1\_s0~),(~p1\_r1\_s1~),(~p1\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r2\_s0~),(~p1\_r2\_s1~),(~p1\_r2\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{((~p2\_r0\_s0~),(~p2\_r0\_s1~),(~p2\_r0\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{((~p2\_r1\_s0~),(~p2\_r1\_s1~),(~p2\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{((~p2\_r2\_s0~),(~p2\_r2\_s1~),(~p2\_r2\_s\#~))} \end{array}\)

The Symbol Partition segment of the propositional program for \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2)\) consists of nine universal partition expressions, taken in conjunction stipulating that there has to be one and only one symbol in each of the registers at each point in time under consideration. In short, we have:

At each of the points in time \(p_i,\!\) for \(i\!\) in \(\{ 0, 1, 2 \},\!\)

in each of the tape registers \(r_j,\!\) for \(j\!\) in \(\{ 0, 1, 2 \},\!\)

there can be exactly one sign \(s_k,\!\) for \(k\!\) in \(\{ 0, 1, \# \}.\!\)

Interaction Conditions

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{((~p0\_r0~) ~p0\_r0\_s0~ (~p1\_r0\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{((~p0\_r0~) ~p0\_r0\_s1~ (~p1\_r0\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{((~p0\_r0~) ~p0\_r0\_s\#~ (~p1\_r0\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{((~p0\_r1~) ~p0\_r1\_s0~ (~p1\_r1\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{((~p0\_r1~) ~p0\_r1\_s1~ (~p1\_r1\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{((~p0\_r1~) ~p0\_r1\_s\#~ (~p1\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{((~p0\_r2~) ~p0\_r2\_s0~ (~p1\_r2\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{((~p0\_r2~) ~p0\_r2\_s1~ (~p1\_r2\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{((~p0\_r2~) ~p0\_r2\_s\#~ (~p1\_r2\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r0~) ~p1\_r0\_s0~ (~p2\_r0\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r0~) ~p1\_r0\_s1~ (~p2\_r0\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r0~) ~p1\_r0\_s\#~ (~p2\_r0\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r1~) ~p1\_r1\_s0~ (~p2\_r1\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r1~) ~p1\_r1\_s1~ (~p2\_r1\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r1~) ~p1\_r1\_s\#~ (~p2\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r2~) ~p1\_r2\_s0~ (~p2\_r2\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r2~) ~p1\_r2\_s1~ (~p2\_r2\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{((~p1\_r2~) ~p1\_r2\_s\#~ (~p2\_r2\_s\#~))} \end{array}\)

In briefest terms, the Interaction Conditions simply express the circumstance that the mark on a tape cell cannot change between two points in time unless the tape head is over the cell in question at the initial one of those points in time. All that we have to do is to see how they manage to say this.

Consider a cactus expression of the following form:

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{((}~ p_i\_r_j ~\texttt{)}~ p_i\_r_j\_s_k ~\texttt{(}~ p_{i+1}\_r_j\_s_k ~\texttt{))} \end{array}\)

This expression has the corresponding cactus graph:

o---------------------------------------o
|                                       |
|         p<i>_r<j>   p<i+1>_r<j>_s<k>  |
|                 o   o                 |
|                  \ /                  |
|    p<i>_r<j>_s<k> o                   |
|                   |                   |
|                   @                   |
|                                       |
o---------------------------------------o

A propositional expression of this form can be read as follows:

\(\mathrm{If}\)
At the time \(p_i,\!\) the tape cell \(r_j\!\) bears the mark \(s_k,\!\)
\(\mathrm{But}\) it is not the case that:
At the time \(p_i,\!\) the tape head is on the tape cell \(r_j,\!\)
\(\mathrm{Then}\)
At the time \(p_{i+1},\!\) the tape cell \(r_j\!\) bears the mark \(s_k.\!\)

The eighteen clauses of the Interaction Conditions simply impose one such constraint on symbol changes for each combination of the times \(p_0, p_1,\!\) registers \(r_0, r_1, r_2,\!\) and symbols \(s_0, s_1, s_\#.\!\)

Transition Relations

\(\begin{array}{l} \texttt{(~p0\_q0~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s0~~(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r1\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q0~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s1~~(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r1\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q0~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s\#~~(~p1\_q\#~~p1\_r0~~p1\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q0~~p0\_r2~~p0\_r2\_s\#~~(~p1\_q\#~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r2\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q1~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s0~~(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r1\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q1~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s1~~(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r1\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q1~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s\#~~(~p1\_q*~~p1\_r0~~p1\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{(~p0\_q1~~p0\_r2~~p0\_r2\_s\#~~(~p1\_q*~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r2\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s0~~(~p2\_q0~~p2\_r2~~p2\_r1\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s1~~(~p2\_q1~~p2\_r2~~p2\_r1\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s\#~~(~p2\_q\#~~p2\_r0~~p2\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q0~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r2\_s\#~~(~p2\_q\#~~p2\_r1~~p2\_r2\_s\#~))} \\ \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s0~~(~p2\_q1~~p2\_r2~~p2\_r1\_s0~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s1~~(~p2\_q0~~p2\_r2~~p2\_r1\_s1~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r1~~p1\_r1\_s\#~~(~p2\_q*~~p2\_r0~~p2\_r1\_s\#~))} \\ \texttt{(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r2\_s\#~~(~p2\_q*~~p2\_r1~~p2\_r2\_s\#~))} \end{array}\)

The Transition Relation segment of the propositional program for \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2)\) consists of sixteen implication statements with complex antecedents and consequents. Taken together, these give propositional expression to the TM Figure and Table that were given at the outset.

Just by way of a single example, consider the clause:

\(\texttt{(~p0\_q0~~p0\_r1~~p0\_r1\_s1~~(~p1\_q1~~p1\_r2~~p1\_r1\_s1~))}\)

This complex implication statement can be read to say:

\(\mathrm{If}\)
At the time \(p_0,\!\) the machine \(\mathrm{M}\) is in the state \(q_0,\!\) and
At the time \(p_0,\!\) the scanner \(\mathrm{H}\) is reading cell \(r_1,\!\) and
At the time \(p_0,\!\) the tape cell \(r_1\!\) contains a \(\texttt{1},\)
\(\mathrm{Then}\)
At the time \(p_1,\!\) the machine \(\mathrm{M}\) is in the state \(q_1,\!\) and
At the time \(p_1,\!\) the scanner \(\mathrm{H}\) is reading cell \(r_2,\!\) and
At the time \(p_1,\!\) the tape cell \(r_1\!\) contains a \(\texttt{1}.\)

Computation

The propositional program for \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2)\) uses the following set of \(9 + 12 + 36 = 57\!\) basic propositions or boolean variables:

\(\begin{matrix} \texttt{p0\_r0}, & \texttt{p0\_r1}, & \texttt{p0\_r2}, \\[6pt] \texttt{p1\_r0}, & \texttt{p1\_r1}, & \texttt{p1\_r2}, \\[6pt] \texttt{p2\_r0}, & \texttt{p2\_r1}, & \texttt{p2\_r2}. \end{matrix}\)

\(\begin{matrix} \texttt{p0\_q\#}, & \texttt{p0\_q*}, & \texttt{p0\_q0}, & \texttt{p0\_q1}, \\[6pt] \texttt{p1\_q\#}, & \texttt{p1\_q*}, & \texttt{p1\_q0}, & \texttt{p1\_q1}, \\[6pt] \texttt{p2\_q\#}, & \texttt{p2\_q*}, & \texttt{p2\_q0}, & \texttt{p2\_q1}. \end{matrix}\)

\(\begin{matrix} \texttt{p0\_r0\_s\#}, & \texttt{p0\_r0\_s*}, & \texttt{p0\_r0\_s0}, & \texttt{p0\_r0\_s1}, \\[4pt] \texttt{p0\_r1\_s\#}, & \texttt{p0\_r1\_s*}, & \texttt{p0\_r1\_s0}, & \texttt{p0\_r1\_s1}, \\[4pt] \texttt{p0\_r2\_s\#}, & \texttt{p0\_r2\_s*}, & \texttt{p0\_r2\_s0}, & \texttt{p0\_r2\_s1}, \\[12pt] \texttt{p1\_r0\_s\#}, & \texttt{p1\_r0\_s*}, & \texttt{p1\_r0\_s0}, & \texttt{p1\_r0\_s1}, \\[4pt] \texttt{p1\_r1\_s\#}, & \texttt{p1\_r1\_s*}, & \texttt{p1\_r1\_s0}, & \texttt{p1\_r1\_s1}, \\[4pt] \texttt{p1\_r2\_s\#}, & \texttt{p1\_r2\_s*}, & \texttt{p1\_r2\_s0}, & \texttt{p1\_r2\_s1}, \\[12pt] \texttt{p2\_r0\_s\#}, & \texttt{p2\_r0\_s*}, & \texttt{p2\_r0\_s0}, & \texttt{p2\_r0\_s1}, \\[4pt] \texttt{p2\_r1\_s\#}, & \texttt{p2\_r1\_s*}, & \texttt{p2\_r1\_s0}, & \texttt{p2\_r1\_s1}, \\[4pt] \texttt{p2\_r2\_s\#}, & \texttt{p2\_r2\_s*}, & \texttt{p2\_r2\_s0}, & \texttt{p2\_r2\_s1}. \end{matrix}\)

This means that the propositional program itself is nothing but a single proposition or boolean function of the form \(p : \mathbb{B}^{57} \to \mathbb{B}.\)

An assignment of boolean values to the above set of boolean variables is called an interpretation of the proposition \(p,\!\) and any interpretation of \(p\!\) that makes the proposition \(p : \mathbb{B}^{57} \to \mathbb{B}\) evaluate to \(1\!\) is referred to as a satisfying interpretation of the proposition \(p.\!\) Another way to specify interpretations, instead of giving them as bit vectors in \(\mathbb{B}^{57}\) and trying to remember some arbitrary ordering of variables, is to give them in the form of singular propositions, that is, a conjunction of the form \(e_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot e_{57}\) where each \(e_j\!\) is either \(v_j\!\) or \(\texttt{(} v_j \texttt{)},\) that is, either the assertion or the negation of the boolean variable \({v_j},\!\) as \(j\!\) runs from 1 to 57. Even more briefly, the same information can be communicated simply by giving the conjunction of the asserted variables, with the understanding that each of the others is negated.

A satisfying interpretation of the proposition \(p\!\) supplies us with all the information of a complete execution history for the corresponding program, and so all we have to do in order to get the output of the program \(p\!\) is to read off the proper part of the data from the expression of this interpretation.

Output

One component of the \(\begin{smallmatrix}\mathrm{Theme~One}\end{smallmatrix}\) program that I wrote some years ago finds all the satisfying interpretations of propositions expressed in cactus syntax. It's not a polynomial time algorithm, as you may guess, but it was just barely efficient enough to do this example in the 500 K of spare memory that I had on an old 286 PC in about 1989, so I will give you the actual outputs from those trials.

Output Conditions for Tape Input "0"

Let \(p_0\!\) be the proposition that we get by conjoining the proposition that describes the initial conditions for tape input "0" with the proposition that describes the truncated turing machine \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2).\) As it turns out, \(p_0\!\) has a single satisfying interpretation. This interpretation is expressible in the form of a singular proposition, which can in turn be indicated by its positive logical features, as shown in the following display:

The Output Conditions for Tape Input "0" can be read as follows:

At the time \(p_0,\!\) machine \(\mathrm{M}\) is in the state \(q_0,\!\) and

At the time \(p_0,\!\) scanner \(\mathrm{H}\) is reading cell \(r_1,\!\) and

At the time \(p_0,\!\) cell \(r_0\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{\#},\) and

At the time \(p_0,\!\) cell \(r_1\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{0},\) and

At the time \(p_0,\!\) cell \(r_2\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{\#},\) and

At the time \(p_1,\!\) machine \(\mathrm{M}\) is in the state \(q_0,\!\) and

At the time \(p_1,\!\) scanner \(\mathrm{H}\) is reading cell \(r_2,\!\) and

At the time \(p_1,\!\) cell \(r_0\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{\#},\) and

At the time \(p_1,\!\) cell \(r_1\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{0},\) and

At the time \(p_1,\!\) cell \(r_2\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{\#},\) and

At the time \(p_2,\!\) machine \(\mathrm{M}\) is in the state \(q_\#,\!\) and

At the time \(p_2,\!\) scanner \(\mathrm{H}\) is reading cell \(r_1,\!\) and

At the time \(p_2,\!\) cell \(r_0\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{\#},\) and

At the time \(p_2,\!\) cell \(r_1\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{0},\) and

At the time \(p_2,\!\) cell \(r_2\!\) contains the symbol \(\texttt{\#}.\)

The output of \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2)\) being the symbol that rests under the tape head \(\mathrm{H}\) if and when the machine \(\mathrm{M}\) reaches one of its resting states, we get the result that \(\mathrm{Parity}(0) = 0.\)

Output Conditions for Tape Input "1"

Let \(p_1\!\) be the proposition that we get by conjoining the proposition that describes the initial conditions for tape input "1" with the proposition that describes the truncated turing machine \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2).\) As it turns out, \(p_1\!\) has a single satisfying interpretation. This interpretation is expressible in the form of a singular proposition, which can in turn be indicated by its positive logical features, as shown in the following display:

The Output Conditions for Tape Input "1" can be read as follows:

At the time \(p_0,\!\) machine \(\mathrm{M}\) is in the state \(q_0,\!\) and

The output of \(\mathrm{Stunt}(2)\) being the symbol that rests under the tape head \(\mathrm{H}\) when and if the machine \(\mathrm{M}\) reaches one of its resting states, we get the result that \(\mathrm{Parity}(1) = 1.\)
