Continuous Spatial Automata Examples

A continuous spatial automaton is the continuum limit analogue of a cellular automaton. This page provides access to a short report describing CSAs and a series of figures showing the descrete-time evolution of a particular CSA.

Continuous Spatial Automata

Figures

The following figures show several consecutive states of a continuous spatial automaton that is a continuous analogue of the game of "Life." The initial state was random. See the report for more information.

state at time = 2
state at time = 3
state at time = 4
state at time = 5
state at time = 6
state at time = 7
state at time = 8
state at time = 9
state at time = 10
state at time = 11
