Understanding Cellular Automata Dynamics

This chapter explores the fundamentals of cellular automata, highlighting their deterministic nature and the rules that govern cell states. The discussion examines the balance between simplicity in Cartesian grids and the complexities of various grid structures, as well as practical applications in image processing and machine learning. By analyzing the influence of individual cells on one another, the speakers illustrate how changes in cell states can lead to broader patterns and ripple effects in the system.
