Here's an example of what I mean. Feb 9, 2014 - A cellular automaton (CA) is an algorithm acting on cells in a grid at discrete time steps. What Ulam suggested to Neumann was to consider a digital programmable universe in which time is imagined as defined by the ticking of a cosmic clock, and space is a discrete lattice of cells, eachcell occupied by an abstractly defined very simple computer called a finite automaton. With Stephen Wolfram's, since Wolfram does not intend to imply that the universe is a classical cellular automaton but rather conceives of a discrete universe based on systems performing simple rules and producing all the complex behavior we find in nature. Here I describe John von Neumann's computer-simulation studies on self-reproduction, after introducing the notion of cellular automata. Apr 11, 2012 - And when they duplicate waves in a discrete system, they often think of something like a cellular automaton (CA) running a discrete approximation to the wave equation. I think the biggest issue here is that 't Hooft (clearly a brilliant physicist) ignores Conway/Kochen, who clearly prove, given three axioms, that the universe *can't* be deterministic. Apr 24, 2006 - Cellular Automata are a tools for exploring, in a simplified universe, how vastly complex systems can arise from the simplest of principles. Aug 13, 2012 - His latest version is last month's Discreteness and Determinism in Superstrings, which starts with cellular automata in 1+1 dimensions and somehow gets a quantized superstring out of it (there are also some comments about this on his web-site here). Feb 12, 2014 - A dynamic cellular automata model for population in patches is being proposed in this paper. The cells can be typically in two states on or off. Aug 7, 2006 - As a reminder, the Zuse-Fredkin Thesis is a Church-type thesis which claims additionally that the universe being a Cellular Automaton can be understood in terms of the evolution of Cellular Automata. Cellular Automata (often abbreviated CA) are limited grids of discrete cells.
