    Abstract

    References to Thue's 1914 paper on string transformation systems are based mainly on a small section of that work defining Thue systems. A closer study of the remaining parts of that paper highlight a number of important themes in the history of computing: the transition from algebra to formal language theory, the analysis of the "computational power" (in a pre-1936 sense) of rules, and the development of algorithms to generate rule-sets.
