It is more in the way of musings—a crude introduction—so that we can see where to go. 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. Oct 13, 2007 - A cellular automaton consists in a dynamical rule which updates synchronously a discrete variable, defined on the sites (cells) of a d-dimensional lattice. Oct 26, 2010 - Our physical universe is discrete, finite, unbounded, deterministic and computational. An answer is provided by Conway's Game of Life, a well known example of two-dimensional cellular automaton that became popular in the 1970's. Jul 25, 2010 - In no way is this article meant to be complete. 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. Zuse published his book Calculating Space, proposing that the physical laws of the universe are discrete by nature, and that the entire universe is the output of a deterministic computation on a giant cellular automaton. I'm always moving to ideas of a discrete universe ticking away like some vast cellular automata – that the world isn't analog but is digital. Here I describe John von Neumann's computer-simulation studies on self-reproduction, after introducing the notion of cellular automata. 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. The values sI of the observable are taken in a finite set. 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. Cellular Automata (often abbreviated CA) are limited grids of discrete cells. Oct 13, 2012 - You can regard many cellular automata as discrete approximations to particular differential equations. Nov 4, 2010 - In Andrew Ilanchinski's massive tome Cellular automata: a discrete universe, Ilanchinski. Feb 12, 2014 - A dynamic cellular automata model for population in patches is being proposed in this paper. Jan 20, 2009 - the oposite; the remachination of the human, i think is more where i stand. Asked differently: is the universe discrete and finite?
