Abstract :
Cellular wave computer architecture as a spatial-temporal universal machine on flows reflects (i) the prophecies of Turing and von Neumann, (ii) physical constraints of nano-scale technology, (iii) typical constructs in neural organisation and mechanisms, and (iv) provides for a new way of algorithmic and hardware-software framework, already implemented in some new products, including visual microprocessors. A few aspects of this new kind of computer and computing are highlighted, including the `function in layout´ principle, the biological relevance in retinal modelling, and the new type of spatial-temporal algorithmic thinking beyond Boolean logic
