Abstract

After a survey of some typical realizations of self-replicating machines, this paper presents the self-replication based on construction and the self-replication based on inspection of an interactive loop, chosen as an easily understandable example. The construction-based replication process is achieved by translation and transcription of the configuration information of the loop in the processing unit of a data and signals cellular automaton (DSCA). The inspection-based replication process is realized by duplication and translation of the same configuration information in the processing unit of the DSCA.
