Abstract
To implement binary arithmetics we employ a cellular-automaton model of an excitable medium — the 2 + -medium, [2, 3, 8]. The 2 + -medium is a two-dimensional three-state — resting (·), excited (+) and refractory (–) — cellular automaton where a resting cell becomes excited only exactly two neighbours are excited. The transitions from excited state to refractory state, and from refractory state to resting state are unconditional.
