Resolvers with four output leads are general sine/cosine computational devices.
In computer science, they can represent networks of communication, data organization, computational devices, the flow of computation, etc.
A computational device of this sort cannot perform any calculation involving steps equivalent to iteration or recursion.
When a significant change exists just over the 'horizon' of the search depth, the computational device falls victim to the horizon effect.
With a heavy heart, Ishmael turned to the papers and computational devices before him, doing his best to follow the supposedly simple calculations.
He did this by assuming that the demon is a computational device and showing that no two such devices can completely predict each other.
How about a little old-school portable computational device news instead, then?
On one level, brains are a kind of computational device.
There was something about the interface, about the code stored in the strange computational devices that worried him.
However, this is true only until very advanced computational devices are invented.
