Abstract: Given an automaton (a letter-to-letter transducer, a dynamical 1-Lipschitz system on the space

m a t h b b Z_{p}

of

p

-adic integers)

m a t h f r a k A

whose input and output alphabets are

m a t h b b F_{p} = 0, 1, l d o t s, p - 1

, one visualizes word transformations performed by

m a t h f r a k A

by a point set

m a t h b f P (m a t h f r a k A)

in real plane

m a t h b b R^{2}

. For a finite-state automaton

m a t h f r a k A

, it is shown that once some points of

m a t h b f P (m a t h f r a k A)

constitute a smooth (of a class

C^{2}

) curve in

m a t h b b R^{2}

, the curve is a segment of a straight line with a rational slope; and there are only finitely many straight lines whose segments are in

m a t h b f P (m a t h f r a k A)

. Moreover, when identifying

m a t h b f P (m a t h f r a k A)

with a subset of a 2-dimensional torus

m a t h b b T^{2} s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{3}

(under a natural mapping of the real unit square

[0, 1]^{2}

onto

m a t h b b T^{2}

) the smooth curves from

m a t h b f P (m a t h f r a k A)

constitute a collection of torus windings. In cylindrical coordinates either of the windings can be ascribed to a complex-valued function

p s i (x) = e^{i (A x - 2 p i B (t))}

(x i n m a t h b b R)

for suitable rational

A, B (t)

. Since

p s i (x)

is a standard expression for a matter wave in quantum theory (where

B (t) = t B (t_{0})

), and since transducers can be regarded as a mathematical formalization for causal discrete systems, the paper might serve as a mathematical reasoning why wave phenomena are inherent in quantum systems: This is because of causality principle and the discreteness of matter.
