Structure of Switching Nets.

Abstract

Switching nets, or combinatorial nets, are usually classified as contact nets, gate nets or hybrid nets. The question whether there exists more than 2 uniform switching structures was investigated, with the result that there are only 2, the g-structure and the c-sructure. The c-structure is a degenerate case of a g-structure, namely one where all gates contain only wires. The physical dimensions of the switch-stes which permit c-structuresARE SPECIFIED IN TERMS OF STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF MEASURABLE QUANTITIES. It is shown that the states of a c-structure must be 2-valued and that g-structures exist for any many valuedness of the states. This theory of switching nets is developed with elementary concepts from set-theory, graph-theory, and the theory for measurable physical quantities. (Author)
