330 8 $a'New Constructions in Cellular Automata' not only discusses cellular automata (CA) as accouterment for simulation, but also the actual building of devices within cellular automata. CA are widely used tools for simulation in physics, ecology, mathematics and other fields. But they are also digital 'toy universes' worthy of study in their own right, with their own laws of physics and behavior. This book examines constructive methods - the practice of actually building devices in a given CA that store and process in formation, replicate and propagate themselves, and interact with other devices in complex ways. By building such machines, we learn what the CA's dynamics are capable of, and build an intuition about how to 'engineer' the machine we want.
