Cellular Automata  

In General > s.a. computation; game theory [life]; Order; quantum computation.
* Idea: A cellular automaton is a discrete model consisting of a regular grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states and with a set of neighborhood cells, whose state is used in the rule for generating a new state for the specified cell.
* History: The concept was originally discovered in the 1940s by Stanislaw Ulam and John von Neumann, used in the 1970s by John Conway in his Game of Life, a 2D cellular automaton, and systematically studied starting in the 1980s with Stephen Wolfram's work.
