All of the cellular automata rules I’ve shown you so far are among the simplest ones, but there is no upper bound to how complex they can be. Here, you can see a four-color multiset rule with its 20 parts and two symmetric examples of the patches it generates. On the left you can see the patch with color cycling with a period of three. So the left patch uses 12 colors. On the right is the same patch without color cycling. #mathart #math #generativeart #algorithms
