Dr Moore's Automaton
Craig Moore is a brilliant but introverted programmer, who finds himself thrust into a world of government intrigue and technological warfare when a letter arrives from the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory. Officials want Craig to assist them in their attempts to automate a recently developed tank, but the extent of Craig’s brilliance astounds them, and he is exploited on both sides of the Atlantic – both in the production of the tank and, later on, a prototype uncrewed helicopter. However, when his machines are used to exact vengeance on a terrorist group, the terrible, unexpected consequences, and the subsequent political fallout, leave officials looking for a scapegoat – with the machines’ inventor in the firing line. Dr Moore’s Automaton considers a critical issue of our time, delving into the complex web of responsibility involved in the development of autonomous vehicles, and the human toll of technological advancement.

Chaos and the Automaton
Facing real threats of extinction and futurelessness, a search for new ground on which to build projects toward emancipationChaos and the Automaton is the first volume to collect Franco “Bifo” Berardi’s extensive collaboration with e-flux, which has become one of his primary English-language publishers since 2010.The selection of key essays collected here presents Berardi’s prescient interventions into more than a decade of social turmoil, offering a tour through the cataclysms that have rocked the foundations of the global order since the 2008 financial crisis, from European austerity, Occupy, the Arab Spring, and Anonymous through the ascendance of Pope Francis, Brexit, Covid-19, the Trump–Biden sequence, the U.S.Capitol riots, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine—as well as bizarre new cultural occurrences that were consequences. Berardi draws not only from current events but also movements and figures at the firmament of his thought, such as Guattari, Pasolini, and Italian street art of the 1970s.His essays represent a sustained and singular effort to reveal the psychic and material underpinnings of a society in which history came roaring back at the same moment as any vision of a sustainable future receded from sight. “I know that it is dangerous to write in simultaneity with events that nobody can precisely foresee, that can only be vaguely intuited,” he wrote on the eve of the 2020 American elections, “but the only way to imagine something about the becoming of the psycho-sphere is to run ahead of the dynamics of the disaster.”

What is a finite automaton?
A finite automaton is a mathematical model used to represent a system that processes input and transitions between different states based on that input. It consists of a set of states, a set of input symbols, a transition function that specifies how the automaton moves from one state to another based on the input, a start state, and a set of accepting states. Finite automata are used in computer science and theoretical computer science to model and analyze the behavior of systems that can be in a finite number of states and transition between them based on input. They are used in various applications such as lexical analysis in compilers, pattern matching in text processing, and modeling of digital circuits.

How do you create a deterministic finite automaton from a non-deterministic pushdown automaton?
To create a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) from a non-deterministic pushdown automaton (PDA), we can use the subset construction method. This involves creating a state in the DFA for each possible combination of states in the PDA. The transitions in the DFA are determined by simulating the behavior of the PDA on each input symbol. If the PDA can be in multiple states at a given time, the DFA will have a state for each combination of those states. The final states of the DFA are determined by whether any of the PDA's possible states are final states. This process results in a deterministic finite automaton that simulates the behavior of the original non-deterministic pushdown automaton.

How do you transfer the state transition diagram of an automaton into an automaton table?
To transfer the state transition diagram of an automaton into an automaton table, you need to list all the states of the automaton as rows in the table. Then, list all the input symbols as columns in the table. Fill in the table with the corresponding next state for each combination of current state and input symbol based on the transitions in the state transition diagram. Finally, indicate the initial state and any final states in the table. This table can then be used to simulate the behavior of the automaton for different input sequences.

How do you enter the state transition diagram of an automaton into an automaton table?
To enter the state transition diagram of an automaton into an automaton table, you first list all the states of the automaton as rows in the table. Then, list all the input symbols as columns in the table. For each state and input symbol pair, fill in the corresponding cell with the next state that the automaton transitions to. Repeat this process for all state and input symbol pairs until the entire transition diagram is represented in the automaton table.

Miracles and Machines : A Sixteenth-Century Automaton and Its Legend
This volume tells the singular story of an uncanny object at the cusp of art and science: a 450-year-old automaton known as “the monk.” The walking, gesticulating figure of a friar, in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, is among the earliest extant ancestors of the self-propelled robot.According to lore from the court of Philip II of Spain, the monk represents a portrait of Diego de Alcalá, a humble Franciscan lay brother whose holy corpse was said to be agent to the miraculous cure of Spain’s crown prince as he lay dying in 1562. In tracking the origins of the monk and its legend, the authors visited archives, libraries, and museums across the United States and Europe, probing the paradox of a mechanical object performing an apparently spiritual act.They identified seven kindred automata from the same period, which, they argue, form a paradigmatic class of walking “prime movers,” unprecedented in their combination of visual and functional realism.While most of the literature on automata focuses on the Enlightenment, this enthralling narrative journeys back to the late Renaissance, when clockwork machinery was entirely new, foretelling the evolution of artificial life to come.

How does a non-deterministic finite automaton work?
A non-deterministic finite automaton (NFA) is a theoretical model of computation that consists of a set of states, a set of input symbols, a transition function, an initial state, and a set of accepting states. Unlike a deterministic finite automaton (DFA), an NFA can have multiple possible transitions from a given state on a given input symbol. When processing input, an NFA can be in multiple states simultaneously and can transition to multiple states at once. It accepts a given input string if there exists at least one path through the states that leads to an accepting state. NFAs are often used in theoretical computer science to model certain types of computations and are a key concept in the theory of formal languages and automata.

How does a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) work?
A deterministic finite automaton (DFA) is a mathematical model used to recognize patterns in strings of symbols. It consists of a finite set of states, a finite set of input symbols, a transition function that maps a state and an input symbol to another state, a start state, and a set of accepting states. The DFA starts in the start state and reads input symbols one at a time, transitioning between states according to the transition function. Once the input is fully processed, the DFA is in a final state, and if that state is an accepting state, the input is accepted; otherwise, it is rejected. DFAs are used in various applications, such as lexical analysis in compilers and pattern matching in text processing.

What is a deterministic finite automaton in computer science?
A deterministic finite automaton (DFA) is a type of finite state machine in computer science. It consists of a set of states, a set of input symbols, a transition function that maps states and input symbols to other states, a start state, and a set of accepting states. DFAs are used to recognize patterns in input strings by transitioning between states based on the input symbols. They are simpler than nondeterministic finite automata (NFAs) as they have a unique transition for each input symbol in each state.

What is a cellar automaton in theoretical computer science?
A cellar automaton is a type of cellular automaton in theoretical computer science. Cellular automata are discrete models studied in computer science and mathematics, consisting of a grid of cells, each of which can be in a finite number of states. The state of each cell evolves over time according to a set of rules based on the states of neighboring cells. In a cellar automaton, the grid is arranged in a three-dimensional lattice, and the state of each cell is updated based on the states of its six neighboring cells. Cellar automata are used to study complex systems and emergent behavior in various fields, including physics, biology, and computer science.
