Cells live on a grid, and each cell has a single state. Cells exist within neighborhoods, and each cell is goverened by a set of rules

cellstate at time t is a function of all the neighboring cells states form the prior iteration

The Theory of Self-Reproducing Automota was created by John Von Neumann (who was also closely linked with how computers are designed) in 1966

• Inspired Schelling’s Model of Segregation
• Steven Wolfram wrote a book called a A New Kind of Science where he described different 8-bit cellular automota
• Conway’s Game of Life is one of the most famous implementations of cellular automota
