 ===== Abstract =====
-In this paper, we describe a system in the movable feast machine framework of Artificial Life. The movable feast machine (MFM) is a recent development in the artificial life community, intended to describe a more intuitive framework for computation using a type of cellular automata. We present a design for a set of MFM elements which construct a phased sensor array to sense incoming data. The system as a whole gathers spatially-oriented data transmissions and tells us from where the data is coming. This can enable users to do things like analyze incoming data or to establish communications pathways.
+In this paper, we present a design for a set of Movable Feast Machine (MFM) elements which construct a phased sensor array to sense incoming data. The system gathers spatially-oriented data transmissions and tells us from where the data is coming. This can enable users to analyze incoming data, or to establish communications pathways. The design includes parameters which regulate the density and directionality of the array. Here, we show that certain parameters allow the data to be sensed accurately without too much data loss. Specifically, we illustrate the trade-off between data loss and sensing capacity as a function of these parameters.
-(needs a trade-off; accuracy versus directional data, etc.)(More about properties to make it science)
