Abstract
Visible light frequencies are used as computational surrogates for values in a computational platform. Such light frequencies (each representing a corresponding arithmetic value, state, or the like) are combinable with one another to form corresponding resultant light frequencies wherein the value as corresponds to the resultant combined light frequency comprises a resultant as represents a corresponding computational operation (such as addition, subtraction, or the like).
Claims1
A method comprising:
- assigning each of a plurality of visible light frequencies a corresponding numeric value;
- providing in a light-based computer at least a first visible light signal having a first one of the plurality of visible light frequencies;
- providing in the light-based computer at least a second visible light signal having a second one of the plurality of visible light frequencies;
- combining in the light-based computer the first and second visible light signals to provide a resultant visible light signal having a corresponding visible light frequency;
- using, in the light-based computer, a numeric value as corresponds to the visible light frequency for the resultant visible light signal.
