| description | Inspired by self-assembled biological growth, the Circuit Tile Assembly Model (cTAM) was developed to provide insights into signal propagation, information processing, and computation in bioelectric networks. The cTAM is an abstract model that produces a family of circuits of different sizes that is amenable to exact analysis. Here, the cTAM is extended to the Boolean Circuit Tile Assembly Model (bcTAM) that implements a computationally complete set of Boolean gates through self-assembled and self-controlled growth. The proposed model approximates axonal growth in neural networks and thus, investigates the computational capability of dynamic biological networks, for example, in growing networks of axons. Thus, the bcTAM models the effect of electrical activity on growth and shows how that growth might implement Boolean computations. In this sense, given a set of input voltages, the bcTAM is a system that is able to monitor and make decisions about its own growth. |
