Background/follow-up Reading for Computation in Natural Systems.

Cris Moore's Lecture notes on automata, languages, and grammars covers, elegantly, all of the basic automata concepts in the lecture, and much more besides. A supplement to The Nature of Computation.

Jim Crutchfield & Karl Young's paper, Computation at the Onset of Chaos provides a detailed and compelling account of (among other things) how a naturalistic process (in this case, the logistic map) violates the bounds of both the regular and context-free grammars.

For an introduction to the connection between (semi)groups and the regular grammars, as well as a preview of the Emergence module, see Effective Theories for Circuits and Automata.

Data on the edit histories of the George Bush wikipedia article, along with ruby code to read in and otherwise play, can be downloaded here.
