19 Continuous space-time, Definition Restriction Z N R R + (or Q Q + ) Time Space

20 Continuous space-time, signals Definition Restriction Z N R R + (or Q Q + ) Signal (Meta-signal, position) Position (x, t) Time Meta-signal µ = (ι, ν) Space

24 Definition Restriction Introduction Black hole computation Cellular automata Definition Restriction 2-counter automata simulation Straining Iterated shrinking Conclusion

25 Definition Restriction Zeno artifact for black hole implementation Finite duration infinitely many collisions

26 Unwanted space-time diagrams Definition Restriction Unwanted because The number of signals is bursting to infinity (free creation of mater/energy) Difficulty (if not impossibility) to define continuation there

27 Restriction Definition Restriction Idea: Associate to each meta-signal a minimal amount of energy Ensure that no energy is created Collision must not create energy

28 Restriction Definition Restriction Energy: µ E(µ) N ρ = {µ i } i {µ + j } j, E(µ i ) E(µ + i ) E( configuration ) = E( existing signals ) Total energy quantified and bounded The total number of signals is bounded Special case The number of signals is preserved by any collision

38 Restriction and halting 2-counter automata simulation Restriction is always satisfied but... what about halting? The instruction turns into a yes/no signal leaving on the left
