Cellular automata are discrete, lattice-based models in which simple local interactions give rise to intricate global behaviour. As a cornerstone of dynamical systems theory, these models have been ...

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 ...

I love cellular automata, so I love Make Magazine's Cellular Automata Video Synthesizer Kit. With its retro screen resolution and bright, 8-bit era colors, it's the perfect generator for the pixels ...
