+====How the Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction Works====
+|  {{public:t-720-atai:zhabotinsky-reaction-1.png?400|Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction}}  |
+|  A Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction, or BZ reaction, is one of a class of reactions that serve as a classical example of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, resulting in the establishment of a nonlinear chemical oscillator. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belousov–Zhabotinsky_reaction|Wikipedia]]  |

+====Cellular Automata====
+|  What it is  | An algorithmic way to program interaction between (large numbers of) rule-determined "agents" or cells.  [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton|Wikipedia]]  |
+|  Why it's important  | Powerful method to explore the concept of emergence. Also used for simulating the evolution of complex systems.    |
+|  Explicates  | Interaction of rules.    |
+|  Typical manifestation  | 1D or 2D grid with cell behavior governed by rules of interaction. Each cell has a scope of what it "sees" (its range of "causal ties").   |
+\\
+\\
+====CA Example 1====
+|  In this example   |
+|  **Green --> Brown IF one or more are //true://** \\ * There are more than 20 green patches around and lifetime exceeds 30 \\ * There are less than 12 green patches around and lifetime exceeds 20 \\ * The number of surrounding green patches > 25 \\ * Lifetime > 60 ticks \\ **Brown --> Green IF both are //true//:** \\ * Number of surrounding green patches > 8 and heir lifetime combined > 80 \\ * Number of surrounding brown patches > 10  |

+==== Stephen Wolfram's CA Work====
+|  CA  | http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CellularAutomaton.html   |
+|  Book  | A New Kind of Science.   |
+|  Why it's important  | Major analysis of rules for 1-D CAs. Most comprehensive work on CAs to date.    |
+|  Rule 30   | Very simple **deterministic** rule that gives rise to very complex //seemingly random// patterns. \\ Source: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_30|Wikipedia]]    |
