Autonomous Physical Computation: A Categorical Closure Criterion for Physical and Neuromorphic Reservoirs
A physical system computes autonomously only when an internal readout state selects the next operation; by that criterion the walking-droplet system is a wave-memory machine, not a closed autonomous computer.
