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. 410 0$aProceedings volume in the Santa Fe Institute studies in the sciences of complexity. 606 $aCellular automata$vCongresses 615 0$aCellular automata 676 $a511.3 701 $aGriffeath$b David$057419 701 $aMoore$b Cristopher$01644472 712 02$aSanta Fe Institute (Santa Fe, N.M.), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819856803321 996 $aNew constructions in cellular automata$94190467 997 $aUNINA
