Cellular automata: emergence in not-so-complex systems

Описание: In this video we explore the concept of emergence through the lens of cellular automata.



00:00 Intro
02:13 Our model system, the cellular automaton
04:56 Visualizing automata through time
05:12 Types of automata, from periodicity to chaos
08:24 Looking for emergence in cellular automata
09:41 A task for the automata: density calculation
10:22 Naive attempt at a rule
11:14 What should a good rule solution do?
12:12 An interesting rule
13:45 Particles!
15:27 Outro
