Considered to be among the very first computational generative visual processes, cellular automata has historically represented a pioneering form of endless computer graphics featuring machine logic.

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 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 ...

Joshua has been playing video games for as long as he can remember. He's currently playing just about any and every new AAA story-based game. In his free time, he enjoys buying, building, painting, ...

Functional programming, as the name implies, is about functions. While functions are part of just about every programming paradigm, including JavaScript, a functional programmer has unique ...

Cellular automata (CA) have become essential for exploring complex phenomena like emergence and self-organization across fields such as neuroscience, artificial life, and theoretical physics. Yet, the ...

One of the main challenges in cellular automata (CA) systems, particularly in Conway’s Game of Life (Life), lies in predicting their emergent behavior without explicitly knowing the underlying grid ...

Abstract: During the last few decades, significant efforts have been devoted to analyze the dynamical behavior of cellular automata (CAs) on cyclic groups, their Cartesian power (referred to as linear ...
