Abstract

A system for representing a physical environment comprises a first store for holding a set of state bits, a second store for holding a set of input bits, an input device for inputting a set of initial states of said state bits into said first store, means for implementing a set of state transition functions for manipulating said input bits and said state bits, and means for generating input bits satisfying a set of constrains representing restrictions on the physical environment.
