With this advanced level definition, you can recreate any of the 256 elementary cellular automata, as described by S. Wolfram in 2002, in his book “A New Kind of Science“. You can create a ruleset, by means of 8 boolean toggles, according to Wolfram’s classification.

The ruleset solver is written in a Python component and the iteration is carried out with Anemone.

This definition was written in GH v 0.9.0076. Please use it “as is”, it does not come with warranties.

Please do send through edits or implementations.

A snapshot of the component sequence can be found below.

About the Author: Eftihis Efthimiou

A biologist and a designer, with a diploma from the Uni. of Ioannina and a M.Arch GAD from the Volos School of Architecture, UTh with distinction. He is researching the application of systems thinking on design and morphogenesis, through the use of autopoetic design systems. Apart from Decode, he is a Lecturer at Exp.Arch, Fakultät für Architektur, UIbk, and a Scientific Collaborator at the Advanced Design Graduate Program, School of Architecture, AUTh. He is fascinated by any design endeavor, be it an architectural project, a live media performance, product design or a graphic novel. He would like the world to be more like his sketchbook.
