Rule 225 [with simple initial conditions]
With initial conditions consisting of a single black cell, this class 3 rule yields a regular nested pattern, as shown on page 58. But with the initial condition
, it yields the much more complicated pattern shown below. With a background consisting of repetitions of the block
, insertion of a single initial white cell yields a largely random pattern that expands by one cell per step. Rule 225 can be expressed as ¬p⊻(q∨r).
