Conclusion

In the first part of this article, formulated traces are explained. A second approach is used in describing 2-traces and 3-traces by using truth table and their construct. A link as been made between the transitions of 1's and 0's assigned to atomic cells and a geometry used to build an L-system for traces. Positioning of blank and black spaces in truth table visualization has inspired the structure for L-systems for traces. Each segment in an L-system represents a transition between 1's and 0's or blank(white) and black spaces shown in the representation of truth tables for 2 and 3-traces.

Although the exact mapping from transition to segment has not been completely successful, it is not clear that the result is wrong. The fact that the truth tables are also a representation of traces and not an absolutely faithful result, has to be taken under consideration.

L-systems are a usefull tool to examine large quantities of data produced by a problem. Because they are axiomatic in nature it is easy to introduce these logical constructs as an alternative to other logical symbols. L-systems could offer an alternative to classical methods by which it is possible to read information off a production as, say, on a graph, with the addition of multy-layers or multiple dimentions.
