An elementary monodimensional binary cellular automaton -90- with 1 white starting point -bottom middle- [Un automate cellulaire binaire monodimensionnel élémentaire -90- avec 1 point de départ blanc -en bas et au milieu-].
An elementary monodimensional binary cellular automaton -90- with 1 white starting point -bottom middle- [Un automate cellulaire binaire monodimensionnel élémentaire -90- avec 1 point de départ blanc -en bas et au milieu-].
BBB = W
BBW = B
BWB = W
BWW = B
WBB = B
WBW = W
WWB = B
WWW = W
with, for example, "BWW = B" meaning:
if ((CELL(x-1,t)==Black)&&(CELL(x,t)==White)&&(CELL(x+1,t)==White)) then CELL(x,t+1)=BlackThis cellular automaton is called 90. As a matter of fact, when concatenating the right-hand sides of the preceding rules one obtains:
-------- --------
WBWBBWBW = 10100101 = 01011010
and the binary number 01101110 equals the decimal number 90 (for 90=64+16+8+2).
It can be displayed as the following cubes:
