Table 3: Blocked Patterns from Disordered States









Blocks in patterns generated by evolution from disordered initial states.

The pictures in this table are analogous to those in table 2, but show only every other site in both space and time. Certain features become clearer in this ``blocked'' representation.

It is common for cellular automata to exhibit several ``phases''. The blocked representation often makes differences between these phases visible.
