Abstract Building a cellular automaton on an organic molecular layer requires the fusion of time and spatial domains in order to realize computation. Structural symmetry of hardware is an important issue in this context, and we have found that it induces phase transitions spontaneously when the dynamics of the systems evolves according to natural phenomena. Topological symmetry of hardware operating according to this principle is closely related to paradigms of natural computing on a surface, and this may be the key to the realization of computation beyond the conventional Turing paradigm.
