Abstract
This paper studies a mathematical model for automata as direct abstractions of digital circuitry. We give a rigorous model for distributed delays in terms of a precedence order of operations. The model is applied to automata that arise in the study of topological invariants of knots in three dimensional space and to digital design.<>
