 Reflections on Stephen Wolfram's 'A New Kind of Science'
A cellular automaton is a simple computational mechanism that, for example, changes the color of each cell on a grid based on the color of adjacent (or nearby) cells according to a transformation rule.
Wolfram's primary observation that a Class 4 cellular automaton quickly produces apparent randomness (despite its determinate process) is consistent with the tendency towards randomness that we see in Brownian motion, and that is implied by the second law.
Rule 110 states that a cell becomes white if its previous color and its two neighbors are all fl or all white or if its previous color was white and the two neighbors are fl and white respectively; otherwise the cell becomes fl.

 Rule 110 cellular automaton
The rule 110 cellular automaton is a one-dimensional two-state cellular automaton with the following rule table:
Rule 110, like the Game of Life, exhibits what Stephen Wolfram calls "Class 4 behavior," which is neither completely random or completely repetitive.
This is an interesting result because Rule 110 is an extremely simple system, simple enough to suggest that naturally occurring physical systems may also be capable of universality—and hence questions about them will often be undecidable.

 Is the Universe a Computer? - The New York Review of Books
Rule 110 dictates that a cell in one row is left white if the three neighboring cells in the row above are all fl or all white or fl-white-white, and otherwise it is made fl.
There are cellular automata with more than two colors, or with coloring rules like the Game of Life that change the colors of cells in more than one row at a time, or with cells in more than two dimensions.
The program for the calculation and the data to be used would be fed into a rule 110 cellular automaton as a pattern of fl cells in the top row, and the answer would appear as a pattern on a lower row.

 Rule 110
Rule 110 is an one-dimensional cellular automaton of order (2,1) where k=2 and r=1 (set states and neighborhood radius respectively).
At the beginning of the 90's Matthew Cook resolves the conjecture of Wolfram demonstrating that Rule 110 is universal [2, 18].
This result has an outstanding importance within the history and the theory of cellular automata, because it is the simplest and the smallest cellular automaton fulfilling the characteristics established by John von Neumann.

 Read This: A New Kind of Science
A rule must specify, given the colors of a cell and its neighbors, the new color of the cell.
Despite starting with total order, Rule 30 rapidly produces apparent randomness (at least on the right side of the picture), while Rule 110 quickly moves from randomness to a steady background state with bizarre particles moving across it and interacting.
In some cases, such as Rule 30, it would be hard to describe what is going on by looking at it on a large scale and formulating equations, despite the simplicity of the rule.

  1D Cellular Automaton: Mathematics: Stilldreamer
A cellular automaton can be seen as a set of conditions which evolves through time according to certain rules.
Cellular automata, aside from being visually pleasing, exhibit interesting phenomena that have been studied by many mathematicians; for example, starting from very simple initial conditions and using simple rules, some cellular automata yield complex—and often seemingly random—behaviour while others model physical phenomena.
The Macromedia Flash animation presented here is a basic cellular automaton: it is a one dimensional, two colour, nearest neighbour cellular automaton, which is also known as the elementary cellular automaton.

A cellular automaton (plural: cellular automata) is a discrete model studied in computability theory and mathematics.
One example of a cellular automaton (CA) would be an infinite sheet of graph paper, where each square is a cell, each cell has two possible states (fl and white), and the neighbors of a cell are the 8 squares touching it.
Similarly, the rule 110 CA derives its name from 01101110, which is the binary representation of the decimal number 110.

 Historical Notes: History [of universal 1D cellular automata]
The fact that 1D cellular automata can be universal was discussed by Alvy Ray Smith in 1970 - who set up an 18-color nearest-neighbor cellular automaton rule capable of emulating Marvin Minsky’s 7-state 4-color universal Turing machine (see page 706).
In 1989 Kristian Lindgren and Mats Nordahl constructed a 7-color nearest-neighbor cellular automaton that could emulate Minsky’s 7,4 universal Turing machine, and showed that in general a rule with s + k + 2 colors could emulate an s-state k-color Turing machine (compare page 658).
Following my ideas about class 4 cellular automata I had come by 1985 to suspect that rule 110 must be universal.

A cellular automaton (aka CA) is a computational machine that performs actions based on certain rules.
Although the rules are very simple, extremely complex patterns emerge in Rule 110.
The first cellular automaton was conceived by John Von Neumann in the late 1940's for his analysis of machine reproduction under the suggestion of Stanislaw M. Ulam.

 ImmInst.org -> Rule 110, Cellular Automata, Fibonacci phyllotaxis
Rule 110 sounded intrigueing as Wolfram claimed that it is Universal and may be one of the rules that nature uses as a building block algorithm.
This may be in fact true, that all rules of sub-atomic particles or string particles are following some very basic rules that lead to all of the emergence and patterns we see in the universe and throughout nature.
The attached paper discusses cellular automata as being a good modeling technique at the cellular level where there are large populations of like cells.

 1D Cellular Automaton   (Site not responding. Last check: )
One of the simplest cellular automata are one dimensional ones and even simpler are 1D cellular automata with only 2 states and rules involving only two neighbours.
For this I have programmes a simple program, which calculates a Rule 110, with special initial conditions and a finite width: The cells are set to 11111000100110, concatenated over the whole width and with random cell-changes to 0 or 1 at a low rate.
And the automaton wraps at the end to the start and vice-versa, because I think then it is easier to set-up the input and parse the output from a calculation.

The Map is the high-level class that the Automaton uses in order to do operations on the cellular network, intended to be a mixing of a Topology and a Neighborhood.
There is no restriction that an Automaton must house exactly one map; for an agent-based automata it might store none, or for interacting automata overlaid on top of each other it might store several.
An initializer is used to set the initial states of an automaton map to the desired settings before the automaton begins.
