 PREFACE

The present book contains a collection of articles, clustered in sections, that

are directly or indirectly related to areas where Gheorghe Paun has made
major contributions.
The volume opens with an essay discussing a conjecture about windmill
movements formulated by Gheorghe during one of his visits to Leiden, The
Netherlands. This is a good example, among many others, of his curiosity
for all kinds of games and problems, not just mathematical ones.
The first section, Grammars and Grammar Systems, includes a number
of papers related to an important concept of the theory of formal languages:
that of grammar. Some results in “classical” areas of grammar theory are
presented: computational power of grammar systems with Lindenmayer
components—Gheorghe Paun is one of the inventors of that framework—as
well as a few practical applications of the theory (a grammar system approach
to the study of natural language, and how an eco-grammar system might
model George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’), new variants of contextual grammars,
descriptional complexity (a survey of all the results regarding the number of
nonterminals in multi-parallel grammars), parsability approaches for
contextual grammars and context-free grammars with left recursive symbols,
the power and limitation of regulated rewriting in image generation.
The other classical part of formal language theory, that of Automata, is
the subject of the second section. Several types of automata (cellular automata,
directable automata, X-machines, finite automata, real-time automata) are
investigated in search of new theoretical properties and some potential
applications in software engineering, linguistics and ecology.
A large number of contributions are grouped in the third section, Logics,
Languages and Combinatorics. Homomorphical characterizations of the
language classes in the Chomsky hierarchy, languages for picture descriptions,
results regarding semilinear power series and D0L power series, unary
languages, relationships between different classes of languages and the
languages associated with rewriting systems are presented. Other
contributions consider logical aspects: for instance, a simple logic element,

x Preface

called “rotary memory”, is shown to be reversible and logically universal,

while some topological structures of spatial reasoning are considered in the
framework of rough mereology.
The last section, Models of Molecular Computing, is dedicated to a very
hot and exciting topic in computer science: computing with molecules. Both
experiments and theoretical models are presented. Amongst other things, it
is shown how a mathematical model is able to cope with metabolic reactions
in bacteria, and also some relationships between the entropies of DNA based
computing models (Adleman’s model, splicing systems) and tiling shifts.
Furthermore, operations inspired by gene recombination and DNA strand
assembly are considered as formal operations on strings and languages.
All the papers are contributed by Gheorghe P aun’s collaborators,
colleagues, friends and students from five continents, who wanted to show
their recognition to him for his tremendous intellectual work on the occasion
of his 50th birthday in this way. We have collected 40 papers by 69 authors
here. (Another set of 38 papers by 75 authors was recently published:
C.Martín-Vide & V.Mitrana, eds. (2001), Where Mathematics, Computer
Science, Linguistics and Biology Meet. Kluwer, Dordrecht.) The subtitle of
the present volume intends to reflect the sequence of Gheorghe P aun’s scientific
interests over a period of time.
Summing up, this book makes an interdisciplinary journey from classical
formal grammars and automata topics, which still constitute the core of
mathematical linguistics, to some of their most recent applications,
particularly in the field of molecular biological processing.
The editors would like to emphasize Loli Jiménez’s technical help in the
preparation of the volume, Gemma Bel’s contribution to it in its final stage,
as well as the publisher’s warm receptiveness to the proposal from the
beginning. We hope this book will be a further step in the reviving of formal
language theory as a highly interdisciplinary field, and will be understood as
an act of scientific justice and gratitude towards Gheorghe Paun.

Gheorghe is a frequent visitor in Leiden—by now we are really very good

friends, and we know him pretty well. The most characteristic feature of
Gheorghe is his enormous (and very contagious) enthusiasm for research
which comes from his natural curiosity for everything around. This curiosity
is best illustrated by the following.
We have had certainly hundreds of visitors to our institute in the past, but
none of them has ever asked any question about the most symbolic feature
of the Dutch landscape: windmills. One day, after a standard ride from
Bilthoven to Leiden (passing several windmills on the way), Gheorghe
commented on something unusual about the windmills: their wings always
turn counterclockwise. He immediately wanted an explanation (because once
he gets an explanation of anything, he can formulate a theory of it!).

2 M.Boon-van der Nat, G.Rozenberg

This has turned out to be not an easy question to answer. We have passed
it to many of our colleagues in Holland, but nobody knew the answer. In this
way, an interesting question by Gheorghe has led us to some interesting
research. Through this, our knowledge of something that is as Dutch as
possible, has increased considerably. We have understood something very
Dutch (something that, in the first place we should have already known)
only because Gheorghe has asked a question. It is this posing of questions
and searching for answers that makes Gheorghe such a good scientist.
We feel that explaining to Gheorghe possible reasons for the counterclockwise
turning of the wings of Dutch windmills will be very much appreciated by
him (we are just curious how many interesting questions Gheorghe has posed
during the 50 years of his life).
First of all, in order to turn this question into a truly scientific problem, we
gave it a name: the windmill wings invariant problem, abbreviated as the
WWI problem. It has turned out to be a genuinely interdisciplinary problem,
and our solution involves a combination of historical, ergonomic, and
engineering arguments.
From the historical point of view, one has to realize that before the windmill
was invented, the hand-operated stone-grinding mill was used. This is shown
schematically in Fig.1. Now comes the very important ergonomic argument:
about 90% of people are right-handed (this must have also been true at the
time that hand operated stone-grinding mills were used), and the natural
direction for the right hand to turn the handle during long periods of grinding
is anticlockwise, as indicated in Fig. 1.

Figure 1: A handmill.

Since turning the grinding stones in this way for long periods of time must
have been really exhausting, people sought help from the forces of nature. A
scheme for converting the force of wind to turn the grinding stones, illustrated
in Fig. 2, was thus invented—the engineering instinct of mankind had
manifested itself once again! Because of the original (hand-operated) scheme,

© 2003 Taylor & Francis

Gheorghe Pa un and the Windmill Curiosity 3

it was natural to use the new scheme in such a way that the grinding stone
still turned in the same direction, hence anticlockwise. This meant that the
vertical “gear” in the “gear transmission” would turn clockwise if observed
from the “inside” (observer a in Fig. 2). Consequently, the same gear observed
from the outside (observer b in Fig. 2) turns anticlockwise, as will the wings
when observed from outside (observer c in Fig. 2). Thus, here we are (if we
consider the construction from Fig. 2 as the precursor of the current
windmills):

“THE WINGS OF THE WINDMILL TURN ANTICLOCKWISE”

Figure 2: From handmill to windmill.

Soon afterwards, someone must have observed that the force used to turn
the grinding stone can be used to turn several grinding stones (it is important
to note here that efficiency arguments were known long before computer
science became interested in the efficiency of algorithms!). By using just one
more gear wheel, one could now power several grinding stones, each of
which having its own (“small”) gear wheel powered by (turned by) the
additional (“big”) gear wheel. In this way we get the standard construction
of windmills illustrated in Fig. 3. Note that now, although nothing has changed
from the outside (the wings still turn anticlockwise), the situation inside the
mill has changed quite dramatically…each individual grinding stone now
turns in the clockwise direction! Hence the main trace of the original
motivation has been wiped out! This made our research even more
challenging.
We are sure that Gheorghe, after reading the above solution to the WWI
problem, will right away formulate a language theoretic model of the
situation. But then…this is the effect that we have expected from our paper

anyhow, and in this way our contribution becomes a gift for Gheorghe of
the sort that he likes the most.
Let us then conclude this article with (anticlockwise!) birthday wishes from
the two of us and the rest of the Leiden group:

P.S.George: please notice that two membranes suffice to express the best
birthday wishes from all of us. But to this aim one has to use words rather
than arbitrary objects.

 Animal Farm: An Eco-Grammar System

Abstract. An eco-grammar system is used to model George

Orwell’s
Animal Farm: A Fairy Story.

1 Introduction
Eco-grammar systems were originally introduced in [3] as a framework
motivated by Artificial Life (cf. [8]) and able to model life-like interactions.
Subsequently, many variants were introduced and studied (for an extensive
survey cf. [2]), mostly with a strong focus on their generative power. The
articles in [15] give a nice overview.
This paper provides a glimpse of the modelling power of eco-grammar
systems through a rather enhanced eco-grammar system that models George
Orwell’s acclaimed Animal Farm: A Fairy Story. I decided to write the paper
for many reasons.
To begin with, I hope to inspire those working on eco-grammar systems to
pursue further research with a perspective other than generative power in
mind. A return to the original motivation of eco-grammar systems calls for
them to be used to model issues stemming from Artificial Life. Even though
I merely provide a humorous example in the style of Jürgen Dassow’s eco-
grammar system modelling MIT’s Herbert as a can collecting robot ([6]); it
is my belief that eco-grammar systems can also model more scientifically

10 M.H.ter Beek

challenging issues from Artificial Life. Valeria Mihalache set a good example
in this direction in [10] by using eco-grammar systems to simulate games.
This article also hints that eco-grammar systems can be used to generate
stories. One of the postulates of the multidisciplinary research field
Narratology—the study of narrative structure (cf. [1])—is that stories within
the same literary genre follow a common pattern. In [16], Vladimir Propp
interpreted a hundred fairy tales in terms of their smallest narrative units,
so-called “narratemes”, and found that they all displayed the same narrative
structure. This led to the field Semiotic Narratology, at the crossroads of
Narratology and Semiotics—the science of signs (cf. [11]). This field focuses
heavily on minimal narrative units which constitute the so-called “grammar
of the plot” or “story grammars”.
Closer to home, and more recently, Solomon Marcus and others associated
formal languages to many Romanian fairy tales (cf. [9]). Hierarchies known
from Formal Language Theory consequently enabled certain fairy tales to
be classified as more sophisticated than others (cf. [7]). The above
considerations show that it would be interesting to model more stories by
eco-grammar systems and to search for structural equivalences between them.
The same naturally holds for games.
Finally, I celebrate Gheorghe P aun’s 50th birthday by bringing together
two of his “hobbies”. For it is Gheorghe who is the (co-)author of many of
the papers on eco-grammar systems—including the one that introduced the
framework—and it is Gheorghe who wrote a sequel ([14]) to George Orwell’s
other classic novel: Nineteen Eighty-Four ([13]).

2 Eco-Grammar Systems
I assume the reader to be familiar with Formal Language Theory (otherwise
cf. [17])—in particular with eco-grammar systems (otherwise cf. [2])—and
to have read George Orwell’s Animal Farm: A Fairy Story (otherwise read
[12]).
Since the specific eco-grammar system used here is based on variants that
are well known from the literature—e.g. simple eco-grammar systems ([5])
and reproductive eco-grammar systems ([4])—, the definition is given with
little intuitive explanation.
An eco-grammar system (of degree n, nⱖ0) is a construct
where:

• E=(VE, PE), where:

• VE is a finite alphabet, the environmental alphabet, and
• PE is a finite and complete set of P0L rewriting rules of the form x→y
with and , the environmental evolution rules,
