Cellular Automata as Simple Self-Organizing Systems (1982) |
|
Cellular automata provide simple discrete deterministic mathematical models for physical, biological and computational systems. Despite their simple construction, cellular automata are shown to be capable of complicated behaviour, and to generate complex patterns with universal features. An outline of their statistical mechanics is given.
