Reversing the Flow: Right-to-Left Rule Application in Cellular AutomataIn previous posts, I have examined how variations in cellular automaton rule application methods produce distinct changes in resulting…May 31May 31
When Three Points Meet Probability: Natural Phenomena in Cellular Automaton PatternsIn my previous post, I investigated a probabilistic approach to the classical deterministic framework of cellular automata. The results…May 26May 26
Rolling the Dice on Determinism: A Probabilistic Take on Cellular AutomataCellular automata are based on deterministic algorithms. The application of rules at each step follows a deterministic process. However, an…May 22May 22
Chromatic Chaos: Multi-layered Rule Applications in Cellular AutomataLayered rule application in cellular automata continues to surprise me. Today, I want to share some of these discoveries. Until now, I’ve…May 19May 19
Vertical Initialization Reimagined: The Surprising Effects of Layered Rule ApplicationI had explored vertical streaks of initial cells in cellular automata, but the results were not very clear, as they looked similar to using…May 17May 17
Layered Evolution: Bidirectional Rule Generation in Cellular AutomataI have been exploring layered rule generation for cellular automata with multi-color palettes. Previously, I had only placed the initial…May 16May 16
Cellular Strata: Multi-Layered Automata with Spread Initial PointsA cluster of initial points in the middle of the top line, with each initial point generating a new layer, produced some very colorful and…May 15May 15
Rule Strata: The Aesthetic Potential of Layered Color Generation in Cellular AutoIn my experiments so far, I’ve explored multi-color palettes with gradients, which allowed me to incorporate different colors from the top…May 14May 14
When Points Cluster: Unexpected Emergent Patterns in Cellular AutomataI have used both single and multiple initial points, spaced equidistantly on the top line of the cellular automata grid. This produced some…May 13May 13
Unveiling the Grid: What Shape Reveals About Cellular BehaviorIf you’ve been following textbook examples of cellular automata, you may have noticed that for some rules, especially rules like 252, 253…May 12May 12
