Abstract

In the paper, we present foundations of logic circuits based on Physarum polycephalum machines. We propose to apply the ladder diagram approach for constructing topological structures of such circuits. Relationships between basic ladder diagram elements and topological constructions present in Physarum polycephalum machines are emphasized. At the beginning, basic logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) are considered. Such a set of gates constitutes a functionally complete system. This fact is important for building computationally universal devices.
