Three Color Automata Simulator
(Applet by Antonio Endler )
Simulates a 3-color nearest neighbors automata
The running Default Automata [ANKS, page 239]:
code 2043 (= 0020122)
- The starting DEFAULT Automata:
N=450 sites and 3 colors (0=white, 1=red, 2=black),
starting from a random initial condition,
involving nearest neighbors.
- To change the actual rule (=0020122), click on each "T" on the left side
to select new bit values.
- To restart: click on R (=Random) to select the
random initial state, then release the PAUSE button to START the evolution.
- To restore the initial DEFAULT state, click RESTORE on
your browser.
How to play
- To codify a new RULE:
Change (click!) the BIT codes shown vertically on the right.
- Here are some rules that ANKS classifies as Class 4 for you to
try:
- ANKS, page 239: rule 0020122 code 2043 (our default rule)
- ANKS, page 238: rule 0111202 code 1659
- ANKS, page 237: rule 0012022 code 2007
- ANKS, page 237: rule 0201112 code 1815 (oblique fingers)
- ANKS, page 66: rule 0220122 code 2049 (very long oscillations)
