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 ...

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 ...

A cellular automaton is a discrete model of computation studied in automata theory. It consists of a regular grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states; a new generation is created ...

Add a description, image, and links to the elementary-cellular-automata topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Abstract: Many spatial phenomena are difficult, dangerous, costly or impossible to reproduce, making their simulation the only option. Wildfires, large floods or epidemics are examples in which ...

ABSTRACT: The enterprise to construct a local causal model of quantum theory (QT), including quantum field theory (QFT), resulted in the identification of “quantum objects” as the elementary units of ...
