More on reverse modeling
Posted: Thu Nov 12, 1998 9:06 am
Jay Forrest and John Gunkler have offered some valuable comments on my
prior inquiry about reverse modeling.
I wonder whether I might pursue this thread with another question: if I am
able to represent the process (which is in my case a complex manufacturing
process) in the form of a reversible Cellular Automaton (which I think I
would be able to do), then might running the RCA in reverse be a reasonable
attempt to locate the fault ?
I am thinking here of the RCA of Fredkin, Toffoli, Margolus etc.
Has something like this ever been attempted ?
I appreciate your comments.
