Axiomatic computational model

Published: 01 March 2005 Publication History

Abstract

A new model of computation is explored based on axiomatic logic. The significant difference from other models is how reasoning about variables is expressed. The computation is described only by defining variables in terms of other variables. The benefit is the simplicity of the semantics of the axiomatic logic. The model is described in the form of a tutorial using a simple language to illustrate how a program can be expressed in this model.
