To Live and Die in CA AN InvestigatiON INTO the nature of growth in elementary cellular automata Committee: YashaKarant, advisor Ernesto Gomez Keith Schubert by Jane Curnutt
To Live and Die in CA Introduction to CA (Cellular Automata)
To Live and Die in CA • CA Vocabulary • Deterministic • Synchronous • Totalistic • Grid (like a piece of graph paper) • Neighborhood • Moore Neighborhood • von Neumann Neighborhood • Calculation Radius (Radius) • Target Square • Rules: birth=n1 death>n2
To Live and Die in CA Neighborhoods von Neumann Moore
To Live and Die in CA radius=1 radius=3 target square
To Live and Die in CA Neighborhoods Radius = 1 Radius = 3
To Live and Die in CA Biological Ca models
To Live and Die in CA 5 steps Cellular Automata – Why do we want to do this? 40 steps

To Live and Die in CA The Nature of Growth In Cellular automata
To Live and Die in CA Birth=1 Radius=1 Death=0 Time=4
To Live and Die in CA Birth=1 Radius=1 Death=0 Time=5
To Live and Die in CA Birth=1 Radius=1 Death=0 Time=4
To Live and Die in CA Birth=1 Radius=1 Death=0 Time=4
To Live and Die in CA Conclusions Growth only takes place at endpoints and vertices Growth is always perpendicular to the growth in previous time step Growth is recursive
To Live and Die in CA Fractal CA
To Live and Die in CA • Fractal CA • Birth=1 • Death>2 • Radius=1 • Line start
To Live and Die in CA Fractal CA Birth=1 Death>2 Radius=1 Line start This time step: Blue=new growth Red=death Green=residual growth
To Live and Die in CA • Fractal CA • Birth=1 • Death>3 • Radius=1 • Line start
To Live and Die in CA Fractal CA Birth=1 Death>1 Radius=1 Square start This time step: Blue=new growth Red=death Green=residual growth
To Live and Die in CA CA L-System Grammar
To Live and Die in CA L-system CA Graphical Forms & Symbols
To Live and Die in CA L-system CA Symbols: Modifiers & Movement
To Live and Die in CA Why we need an SP character in the grammar? Square Inside the 2r+1 Radius red - neighborhood red - target square green - current time step blue – growth next time step
To Live and Die in CA red - neighborhood red - target square green - current time step blue – growth next time step Square Outside the 2r+1 Radius

To Live and Die in CA Future Research Directions
To Live and Die in CA • Extend CA grammar to include death rules. • Investigate the relationship between CA grammar and display grid, with different grids. • Investigate collisions between patterns, and whether CA grammar can describe them.
