Foundations of Automata Networks

Context

An increasing number of interaction systems is being understood as computational processes. At the foundation of these, interactions and dynamics do combine in a fascinating way. Our understanding of such processes sheds light on real interaction systems, omnipresent in physics, in biology, in daily life.

The objective of FANs is precisely to develop further our knowledge of automata networks (ANs), a reference abstract model for such systems, through fundamental and in-depth studies on the characteristics of computational processes that govern them. In other words, FANs aims at “augmenting the theory of ANs”, via approaches from fundamental computer science. Our motivation comes from : 1) the fact that we think that fundamental computer science gives an appropriate framework for the study of such networks, 2) our interest for real life networks, which drives us to study AN per se rather than as a tool for modelling. Indeed, we are convinced that this constructive and innovative approach perfectly fits the objective of finding general laws, necessary for understanding real systems.

Despite the (deliberate) simplicity of ANs, they can at the same time simulate a Turing machine in constant space, catch the natural way of designing interactions, and model their dynamics as observed in real networks. However, even though this model has been introduced in the 1940s, the state of the art assesses a form of paradox between the interest given to ANs from the applicative point of view and the current weaknesses from the theoretical point of view. Yet, it seems essential to boil down this paradox by the development of AN theory, in order to renew applicative fallouts. In this sense, FANs is in favour of a come-back to the roots of AN theory, by paying attention to fundamental problems of dynamics, complexity, and computability.

Main research directions

FANs offers to study the dynamics of ANs with a special concern on the concept of intrinsic simulation. Although largely examined in the framework of cellular automata, tilings and self-assembly, the concept of intrinsic simulation has not yet been seen in depth in the context of ANs. Nevertheless, it is central for the understanding of what founds/builds information transmissions and computations operated in discrete dynamical systems. Thereby, FANs proposes to develop this innovative concept in order to better understand the dynamical and computational complexity of ANs. Moreover, another objective of FANs is to establish formal relations between static characteristics (i.e., their interaction graphs and their local functions) and dynamics (i.e., their transition graphs) of ANs, with a particular care on the links between cycles of interactions and their attractors and basins. Here, we propose to lead works combining dynamical system theory and combinatorics, by improving the existing bound on the number of fixed points of ANs admitting a given interaction graph. Towards this aim, we will consider the influence of negative feedback cycles, which has never been done before. Furthermore, we will initiate studies regarding the counting of complex attractors, which hardly depend on update modes. The latter organise updates over discrete time, and their influence will also be studied in order to better understand causal relations within the dynamics of AN. In the long term, these developments will also surely participate in understanding problems related to the synthesis and composition of such networks, which have strong applicative impacts in biology, on the nowadays key questions of functional modularity in gene regulatory networks and cellular reprogramming.
