1. Cellular Automata And The Edge Of Chaos
   cellular automata. And the Edge of Chaos type of automaton that has received a lot of attention is cellular automata. For one thing, they make pretty pictures  
   http://math.hws.edu/xJava/CA
   
   Extractions: And the Edge of Chaos A computer follows rules. At each moment, the rules determine exactly what the computer will do next. We say that a computer is an example of an automaton . Other, simpler examples of automata also exist. ( Automata is the plural of automaton .) These more abstract rule-following devices can be easier to study computers, and they can be interesting to study in their own right. One type of automaton that has received a lot of attention is cellular automata . For one thing, they make pretty pictures. For another, they are related to exciting new ideas such as artificial life and the edge of chaos. Here is a fairly simple example: An applet showing a cellular automaton in browsers that support Java. If you would like to learn more about cellualr automata, here are some pages of information and Java applets that you can look at. (The most interesting things here are the applet on page 6, and the newer version of the same applet on page 7, which can make some awfully nice pictures, such as this one (117 kilobytes).)

   Extractions: by Rudy Rucker and John Walker Cellular automata are self-generating computer graphics movies. The most important near-term application of cellular automata will be to commercial computer graphics; in five years you won't be able to watch television for an hour without seeing some kind of CA. Three other key applications of cellular automata will be to simulation of biological systems (artificial life), to simulation of physical phenomena (heat-flow and turbulence), and to the design of massively parallel computers. Most of the programs in the Rudy Rucker Cellular Automata Lab (CelLab) are two-dimensional cellular automata. In these programs the computer screen is divided up into "cells" which are colored rectangles or dots. Each cell is repeatedly "updated" by changing its old color to a new color. The net effect of the individual updates is that you see an ever-evolving sequence of screens. A graphics program of this nature is specifically called a cellular automaton when it is 1) parallel, 2) local, and 3) homogeneous. Parallelism means that the individual cell updates are performed independently of each other. That is, we think of all of the updates being done at once.

4. Cellular Automata
   cellular automata. cellular automata are discrete dynamical systems whose behaviour is completely specified in terms of a local relation.  
   http://www.brunel.ac.uk/depts/AI/alife/al-ca.htm
   
   Extractions: Cellular Automata Cellular automata are discrete dynamical systems whose behaviour is completely specified in terms of a local relation. A cellular automaton can be thought of as a stylised universe. Space is represented by a uniform grid, with each cell containing a few bits of data; time advances in discrete steps and the laws of the "universe" are expressed in, say, a small look-up table, through which at each step each cell computes its new state from that of its close neighbours. Thus, the system's laws are local and uniform. Conway's Game of Life Wolfram's Cellular Automata One-dimensional cellular automata Inhomogeneous cellular automata ... Packard's Snowflakes Mathematician Stanislaw M. Ulam liked to invent pattern games for the computer at Los Alamos. Given certain fixed rules, the computer would print out ever-changing patterns. Many patterns grew almost as if they were alive. A simple square would evolve into a delicate, coral-like growth. Two patterns would "fight" over territory, sometimes leading to mutual annihilation. He developed 3-D games too, constructing thickets of coloured cubes as prescribed by computer. He called the patterns "recursively defined geometric objects". Ulam's games were cellular games. Each pattern was composed of square (or triangular or hexagonal) cells. In effect, the games were played on limitless chessboards. All growth and change of patterns took place in discrete jumps. From moment to moment, the fate of a given cell depended only on the states of its neighbouring cells.

   http://www.santafe.edu/~evca
   
   Extractions: The overall research done by the EvCA group is primarily motivated by the question: " How does evolution produce sophisticated emergent computation in systems composed of simple components limited to local interactions? " To try to find answers to this question, genetic algorithms are used to evolve cellular automata to perform computational tasks that require global information processing. In studying the results of these computer simulations, many more, related questions have sprung up, ranging from questions about the relation between pattern formation and information processing to questions about population dynamics and coevolution. Follow the links in the list below to find out more about these research projects, and how they relate to each other. The EvCA group is headed by physicist James P. Crutchfield (SFI) and computer scientist Melanie Mitchell (LANL/SFI). At any time, the group is complemented by a number of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

   Extractions: To go with this section I have created a mini version of conway's life. Click here to launch. The father of Cellular Automata , and aLife come to that, is John von Neumann. He was the first to propose a system for producing life like results from simple rules. His aim was self reproduction; a John von Neumann machine is one that can do this. A cellular automata is an array of 'cells' that interact with their neighbors. These arrays can take on any number of dimensions, starting from a one dimensional string of cells. Each cell has its own State that can be a variable, property or other information. By receiving input from connected cells or general messages a cell uses its own set of rules to determine what its reaction should be. This reaction is a change of state and can also be a trigger to send out its own messages. These messages are passed onto other selected cells which cause them to act like wise. Natural cells work much in the same way. For example in an embryo messages are spread by timed releases of chemicals by cells which tell a cell which type of cell it should be. Each cell has a look up library, the code of DNA, to control its actions. A cell also has a chemical plant and chemical responses that act as its input and output devices. These plants are controlled by RNA, the slaves of DNA. Different doses of chemicals and in different combinations cause a cell to act in different ways. Sometime small changes in chemical density can lead to radical changes in cell formation. This is how cell barriers are formed. By a mixture of co-operation and competition complex forms, like a human baby, can be built up.

In a CA, each cell has a finite number of states, which are updated based on its neighbours and its own state the previous time step. In CA models of cardiac dynamics, the cells are either active, refractory or excitable. The length of time each cell spends in each state, as well as the size of the neighbourhood and the threshold for activation, are all adjustable parameters. A similar model is formally described here

16. THE COMPUTATIONAL NOTION OF LIFE
    Claus EMMECHE, 1994. This paper makes an interesting link between concepts of computation, cellular automata and the definition of the concept of information.  
    http://www.nbi.dk/~emmeche/cePubl/compnolife.html
    
    Extractions: The present paper discusses a topic often neglected by contemporary philosophy of biology: The relation between metaphorical notions of living organisms as information processing systems, the attempts to model such systems by computational means (e.g., Artificial Life research), and the idea that life itself is a computational phenomenon. This question has ramifications in theoretical biology and the definition of life, in theoretical computer science and the concept of computation, and in semiotics (the study of signs in the most general sense, including information, signification, and meaning), and the concept of the interpreter. It is argued, that the theory of autopoietic systems known from theoretical biology should be integrated with a biosemiotic reflection on the natural history of signs. Introduction The title of the present paper perhaps seems a little obscure, so we will in a moment explain the idea of life as a computational phenomenon in relation to the study of artificial life. However, let us first consider term semiotics, i.e., the general study of signs and sign interpretation processes, and biosemiotics, the study of sign processes in living systems. The question to be addressed first is what constitutes the

    Extractions: Introdution to One-dimensional Cellular Automata A one-dimensional cellular automaton consists of two things: a row of "cells" and a set of "rules". (There are also two-dimensional cellular automata, which use rectangular grids of cells, but from now on when I say "cellular automaton" or just "CA", I will mean "one-dimensional cellular automaton".) Each of the cells can be in one of several "states". The number of possible states depends on the automaton. Think of the states as colors. In a two-state automaton, each of the cells can be either black or white. Of course, you might just as easily use purple and orange to represent the states, if you thing that's prettier. In a three-state automaton, the states might be black, red, and blue. A CA doesn't just sit there. Over time, the cells can change from state to state. The cellular automaton's rules determine how the states change. It works like this: When the time comes for the cells to change state, each cell looks around and gathers information on its neighbors' states. (Exactly which cells are considered"neighbors" is also something that depends on the paticular CA.) Based on its own state, its neighbors' states, and the rules of the CA, the cell decides what its new state should be. All the cells change state at the same time. You should think of the row of cells as a miniature "world" that runs through a sequence of "years" or "generations." At the end of each year, all the cells simultaneously decide on their state for the next year.
