Cellular automata

Edited by Alex_Altair last updated 9th Dec 2022

A cellular automaton is a model of computation which takes place in a discrete space ("cells").

They can be helpful to study the behavior and implications of different dynamics, and understanding the relationship between computing and our universe.

The best known cellular automaton is Conway's Game of Life.
