What are cellular automata, as introduced by Conway?

  • Quantum particles

  • Algorithm classes

  • Cells in a life form

  • Models of spatially distributed processes

Answer

Cellular automata, as introduced by mathematician John Conway, are theoretical models that simulate the behavior of complex systems. These models comprise a collection of cells, each adhering to a set of defined rules. The state of each cell, typically binary (on/off), is determined by the states of its neighboring cells.
