Abstract: A natural result of the different quantities of inputs and outputs in computational elements such as logic gates is a triangular shape when embedded in a material. The duplication of this shape while reducing empty space produces a curved structure, which taken to its ultimate expression is spherical. The inputs of the gates create a surface which is larger than the surface created by the outputs. In its spherical expression the input surface is the outside surface of the sphere, while the output is an inside surface of this sphere. Computation occurs as entropy transport from the outside surface, through layers, to an inside surface. Current digital logic designs are often composed of two-input, one output designs. Several logic functions including NAND, NOR, AND, OR, XNOR, XOR are characterized by multiple inputs and one output. Other types of computational functions such as those of neurons and artificial neurons also may take multiple inputs and fewer or singular outputs.

Abstract: A design is disclosed for a stop signal light emitter and receiver which together enable simple automatic stopping control within designated spaces for moving entities like vehicles, robots or drones, while the transmitted signal remains clearly visible to animals or people. The motivation is to provide a minimum design and standardized spatial signal for safe operation of vehicles and machines and movement of animals and people where a stop signal is linked to a local spatial area. The local spatial area of the signal emitter is linked via transmission from an emitter which is part of a signaling device (where the signaling device is a traffic light or brake light for example), to a receiver where there signal is detected by optical and or photoelectric circuitry.
