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. |
