Ch. 1. Threshold of complexity. 1. Introduction. 2. Cellular automata is a special case of CNN. 3. Every local rule is a cube with eight colored vertices. 4. Every local rule is a code for attractors of a dynamical system. 5. Every local rule has a unique complexity index -- ch. 2. Universal neuron. 1. Firing and quenching patterns. 2. A universal neuron. 3. Gallery of one-dimensional cellular automata. 4. Genealogic classification of local rules. 5. The double-helix torus. 6. Explaining and predicting pattern features -- ch. 3. Predicting the unpredictable. 1. Introduction. 2. Local versus global equivalence. 3. Predicting the unpredictable. 4. Predicting the predictable. 5. Concluding remarks
This novel book introduces cellular automata from a rigorous nonlinear dynamics perspective. It supplies the missing link between nonlinear differential and difference equations to discrete symbolic analysis. A surprisingly useful interpretations of cellular automata in terms of neural networks is also given. The book provides a scientifically sound and original analysis, and classifications of the empirical results presented in Wolfram's monumental "New Kind of Science"
