Claim:
1. A method for electronic computation through implementation of digital functions, comprising: applying a potential difference between a first electrode and a second electrode of an electronic device that includes an interposing region between the electrodes, the interposing region including a dielectric region having a spatially variable dielectric profile, the interposing region including a molecular layer that includes a plurality of molecules, each configured to assume one or more electric states in a controllable manner according to a sensed electric field, the applying including generating an electrode electric field in the interposing region; and affecting the states of the molecules of the molecular layer by spatially modulating the sensed electric field at the molecular layer, said spatially modulating depending on a spatially variable field profile determined by the spatially variable dielectric profile of the dielectric region.
