Well all know cellular automata from Conway’s Game of Life which simulates cellular evolution using rules based on the state of all eight adjacent cells. [Gavin] has been having fun playing with ...

A state machine that consists of an array of cells, each of which can be in one of a finite number of possible states. The cells are updated synchronously in discrete time steps, according to a local, ...

Cellular automata are discrete, lattice-based models in which simple local interactions give rise to intricate global behaviour. As a cornerstone of dynamical systems theory, these models have been ...

In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers can start with the structures and reverse-engineer the rules. Alexander Mordvintsev showed me two clumps of pixels on ...

A fascinating and potentially very fertile new approach for solving various scientific problems in mathematics, physics, cosmology, chemistry, biology, psychology and economics, to mention only the ...

The Annals of Probability, Vol. 22, No. 1 (Jan., 1994), pp. 244-263 (20 pages) Cellular automata have been the subject of considerable recent study in the statistical physics literature, where they ...
