The representation of data as stochastic numbers and processing of that data using stochastic logic is not new: It dates back to John von Neumanns work in the 1950s on probabilistic logic design. See for example J. von Neumann, Probabilistic Logics and the Synthesis of Reliable Organisms from Unreliable Components, in Automata Studies, Princeton University Press, 1956, pp. 43-98. Stochastic computing is even fundamental to evolving paradigms such as quantum computing.
