Dear Hal,

    Have you worked out any of the specifics regarding the
"constructability" and "recursive enumerability" of the "lookup table" of
the CA? Are you assuming that the actions of the CA are "serializable",
e.g., capable of being placed in a partial ordering that is in some way
unique? Does your model address the notion of "true concurrency" at all?
BTW, the same questions apply to Bruno. ;-)

Kindest regards,

Stephen
