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 ...

Researchers and enthusiasts have been fascinated by the challenge of reverse-engineering complex behaviors that emerge from simple rules in cellular automata for decades. Traditionally, this field ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

What comes to mind when you think of a slime tutorial? Hundreds of videos of children using glue and borax to make some horrifying concoction, perhaps? For the theater community, the phrase’s meaning ...

Abstract: This work is focused on the transparent execution of Cellular Automata models on a multi-GPU architecture. Although Cellular Automata models can be easily parallelized on a single GPU, the ...

Abstract: Graph neural cellular automata are a recently introduced class of computational models that extend neural cellular automata to arbitrary graphs. They are promising in various applications ...
