Digital logic? Change of heart? Bob, I don't see any taboo regarding
digital logic in Living Machines. And I don't recall anyone badmouthing
it on the BEAM list, either.



I think you should use the techniques as they were meant to be. I mean,
digital logic is, in essence, for pure arithmic power, and to make black and
white decisions in comparison to Anaolg techniques. So if I may add up two
different discussions: I asked about a laservision system and Chia replied
that it would require some CPU power. So, maybe it's possible to combine
them and use digital logic for image processin and creating a pulsetrain for
use in a neural/nervous net?

In biology these combi's are also used, so why not in bots?

Or is that the most stupid thing you ever heard?

Best,
arno
