It should be pointed out, however, that it is wrong to think that once one has described everything as, say, computation, then there is nothing more to do.
The fraction of possible register machines that do this starting from initial condition {1, {0, 0}} decreases steadily with program length n , reaching about 0.76 for n = 8 .
The notion that for example the stripes of a zebra are for camouflage may at first seem implausible, but there is some evidence that dramatic stripes do make it harder for a predator to recognize the overall shape of the zebra.
Olbers' paradox asks why one does not see a bright star in every direction in the night sky.
In many cases it took a large number of iterations to work out the right experiments to do.
Nevertheless, as the last stage demonstrates, a repetitive pattern does in fact exist.
But there are certainly cases—in one dimension and particularly in the first set of images below—where different domains do combine, and exact repetition is achieved.
But even when the initial conditions are such that some stripes survive, nested regions are still formed by the stripes that do annihilate.
But what the picture suggests is that at some rough overall level these structures progressively tend to annihilate each other, and in doing so form an approximate nested pattern.
But how do the properties of causal networks relate to our normal notions of space and time?
