Abstract :
This paper presented the basic framework for defining multidimensional information and computing devices. This work is a result of continued research aimed at trying to gain an understanding of new, seemingly more complex computing paradigms. This framework provides a way to not only compare and contrast new types of computers, but also to relate them to one another. The fuzzy computer presented here is particularly important because it is the lowest dimensional, non-deterministic computer and therefore a gateway to all other forms of non-deterministic computing. Any further understanding of the fuzzy computer can only help to shed light on high-uncertainty computing.
