[BINSU.PST] [Post version of binary sum] [To sum two binary numbers using Post's Productions, we set up two addition tables for the terminal digits of the numbers. One table is used initially, and when there is no carry present. The other is used to incorporate a propagated carry into the sum. Auxiliary symbols are naturally incorporated into the sum by writing the Axiom in the form a+b=c. The digits to be removed from a and b are identified by their proximity to + and =, respectively. As the sum is developed, its digits are inserted to the right of the = sign. The computation terminates when the auxiliary symbols are dropped after at least one of them reaches the front of its summand.] [Post Productions can deal with the digits to be summed even though they are widely separated. In a Markov Algorithm it is necessary to move one of them until it is in contact with the other before the addition table can be applied.] [[ A Post Production scheme which will sum two binary numbers written in the form a+b=c; for example 111110+011= Each successive keystroke will display one more step in the transformation until the sum is finished. ]] (<1>0+<2>0=<3>,<1>+<2>=0<3>) (<1>0+<2>1=<3>,<1>+<2>=1<3>) (<1>1+<2>0=<3>,<1>+<2>=1<3>) (<1>1+<2>1=<3>,<1>+<2>*0<3>) (<1>0+<2>0*<3>,<1>+<2>=1<3>) (<1>0+<2>1*<3>,<1>+<2>*0<3>) (<1>1+<2>0*<3>,<1>+<2>*0<3>) (<1>1+<2>1*<3>,<1>+<2>*1<3>) (<1>+<2>=<3>,<1><2><3>) (<1>+<2>*<3>,0<1>+0<2>*<3>) [end]
