Summary of Cellular Automata as Explorers

Cellular Automata Findings

 

Below are measures of how many possible states (one dimensional linear arrangements) a particular rule generates. Results were taken from a 9 cell CA, 11 cell CA, and 19 cell CA. Click images to enlarge.

 


Emergence: Primal Patterns Applet (2)

Instructions

setup resets the model with a random arrangement of purple and yellow cells (determined by the setup-seed-number slider).


Deterministic and Non-deterministic Emergence: Non-deterministic Emergence

Non-deterministic Emergence

 

Inquiry approach 3
Non-deterministic emergence

Goal: to contribute to the ongoing creation and exploration of possibilities

Perception of time/evolution: essential as the parameter underlying emergence

Ways of Making Sense of the World:
From Primal Patterns to Emergence


Moving beyond primal patterns as a way to make sense of things
"In the beginning was the Word?"

Inquiry approach 1
Primal patterns

Goal: to characterize the underlying pattern that everything actually relates to
