Abstract
Memory device for two-dimensional radiant energy array computers in which the memory device stores digital information in an input array of radiant energy digital signals that are characterized by ordered rows and columns. The memory device includes a radiant energy logic storing device having a pair of input surface locations for receiving a pair of separate radiant energy digital signal arrays and an output surface location adapted to transmit a radiant energy digital signal array and a regenerative feedback device that couples one of the input surface locations to the output surface location in a manner for causing regenerative feedback.
