Overview
- Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis from the University of Sydney
- This thesis develops the first complete framework to quantify the information dynamics of distributed computation, with possible application to biological and bio-inspired systems
- Unique in blending theoretical contributions (e.g. fundamental insights into computation in cellular automata) with practical results (e.g. in computational neuroscience)
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
