We propose a mechanism for copying of neuronal networks that is of considerable interest for neuroscience for it suggests a neuronal basis for causal inference, function copying, and natural selection within the human brain. To date, no model of neuronal topology copying exists. We present three increasingly sophisticated mechanisms to demonstrate how topographic map formation coupled with Spik...

This paper examines three subtypes of the verb copying construction in Chinese. We begin by looking at Cheng’s (2007) analysis of the resultative verb copying construction, according to which both standard movement and sideward movement are required to account for the verb copying construction (VCC). Cheng suggests that the same analysis can be applied to verb copying with nonresultative phrase...

This paper presents a proof that referencing and bit copying operations are sufficient for Turing-complete computation. A programming language consisting of just one instruction – bit copy, is presented. This language is powerful enough to run programs such as “Hello, World!” with iterations over an array and calculating factorials. The idea is that the computation is done without logic operati...

NUMA-aware parallel algorithms in runtime systems attempt to improve locality by allocating memory from local NUMA nodes. Researchers have suggested that the garbage collector should profile memory access patterns or use object locality heuristics to determine the target NUMA node before moving an object. However, these solutions are costly when applied to every live object in the reference gra...
