Project
Title
An Empirical Investigation of the Complex Behavior of Reversible Turing
Machines
Project
Turing machines are well-known computational systems. Yet although they
have been prominent in theoretical computer science for many decades,
little empirical investigation of their reversible behavior has been done.
The purpose of this study is to explore the range of behavior of different
reversible Turing machines and figure out where the complex behavior
first occurs in the space of possible reversible Turing machines.
Favorite Four-Color, Radius-1/2 Rule
Rule chosen: 16787316
To me, this rule says it's possible for different patterns to co-exist and
be "co-calculated" in nature.
