Dimitry Gashinsky
 Bio [2003]
In 1997 Dimitry graduated from New York
University with a BA in Computer
Science. He started working in software engineering as a 16 year old.
After graduating he worked for companies such as American Express, Bankers
Trust, and Goldman Sachs. He also participated in starting up a few software
companies. One of them, named TransIndigo by Dimitry, was aquired by RSA
Security, where he is currently employed developing the rule-based authorization
ClearTrust product.
Project Title
Symbolic Dissection of Cellular Automaton Rule Number 110
Abstract
The goal of this project is to create a symbolic representation scheme
for structures in rule 110. It will allow for easier experimentation and
construction of programs designed to run on rule 110 cellular automaton
(CA). Favorite 3-color Cellular Automata
 Rule Chosen: 456450848782
Reason: Three of the color CA's that I considered produce an interesting
behavior. The interesting thing about it is that on random background
which looks like 2 color rule 30 there are seems to emerge patterns of
particles which look like rule 110. It would be interesting to set up
search for that particular behavior. I could filter out background based
on color. I was unable to establish relationship between the rule number
and the pattern. I did succeed in writing a graphical representation of
the rule to make it easier to study.
