Abstract

A fixed bit-width counter was proposed as a proof-of-concept demonstration of an oritatami model of cotranscriptional folding [Geary et al., Proc. MFCS 2016, LIPIcs 58, 43:1–43:14], and it was embedded into another oritatami system that self-assembles a finite portion of Heighway dragon fractal. In order to expand its applications, we endow this counter with capability to widen bit-width at every encounter with overflow.
