Labels:book | reckoner | sky OCR: More about Automata Throughout nature there is an extraordinary variety of natural patterns produced in both physical and biological systems. Some examples are the growth of dendritic crystals (such as snowflakes), patterns of flow in turbul ilent fluids and the pigmentation uo seashells or snake skii These, plus many other complex systems have been successfully mod elled by cellular automa which consist of many identical and simple components, interacting (again simply) to produce complicated behaviour Some features of cellular automata evolution are: Self -organi isation from an initial 'disordered' state, 'ordered' states may evolve; Generation of self- similar structures starting from single non-zero point, the value nearest neighbour cellular automata given by the integer rule produce ...
