Partitioned Cellular Automata

that was inspired by section 2.2 of this paper:

http://bprentice.webenet.net/PCA/Two%20 ... e%20CA.pdf

The paper references:

Morita, K., Ueno, S: Computation-Universal Models of Two-Dimensional 16-state Reversible
Cellular Automata, IEICE Trans. Inf. & Syst., E75-D,1, pp.141–147 (1992).

I was unable to find a free copy on the internet. Can anyone help me obtain one?

The Golly rule tree was generated with RuleTreeGen.java which is distributed with Golly.

The rule definition that was inserted into RuleTreeGen.java is:

Code: Select all

  /* Put your state count, neighbor count, and function here */
  final static int numStates = 16;
  final static int numNeighbors = 4;
  private int rule[] = {0,2,4,12,8,5,9,7,1,6,10,11,3,13,14,15};

  /* order for nine neighbors is nw, ne, sw, se, n, w, e, s, c */
  /* order for five neighbors is n, w, e, s, c */
  int f(int[] a)
  {
    int s = 0;
    if ((a[3] & 4) > 0)
      s = s | 1;
    if ((a[1] & 8) > 0)
      s = s | 2;
    if ((a[0] & 1) > 0)
      s = s | 4;
    if ((a[2] & 2) > 0)
      s = s | 8;
    return rule[s];
  }
As you can see, the rule is very simple, but it exhibits very complex behavior.

Small ships with 42 different speeds have been found and there are probably many more.

This ship is, for the record, the most common by far:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = PCA_4
.A$D$.C!

I ran a 20x20 soup.
Fastest diagonal ship found:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = PCA_4
3.E$2.B$.D$D!
Fastest orthogonal ship found:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = PCA_4
2.A$.J$E!

Two more Golly rules with similar behavior:

Code: Select all

  /* Put your state count, neighbor count, and function here */
  final static int numStates = 16;
  final static int numNeighbors = 4;
  private int rule[] = {0,2,4,3,8,10,6,7,1,9,5,11,12,13,14,15};

  /* order for nine neighbors is nw, ne, sw, se, n, w, e, s, c */
  /* order for five neighbors is n, w, e, s, c */
  int f(int[] a)
  {
    int s = 0;
    if ((a[3] & 4) > 0)
      s = s | 1;
    if ((a[1] & 8) > 0)
      s = s | 2;
    if ((a[0] & 1) > 0)
      s = s | 4;
    if ((a[2] & 2) > 0)
      s = s | 8;
    return rule[s];
  }

It's creepy how the signals don't care what happens to the other parity:

Can we make an infinite-reservoir rep?

I like the small ships in pca_2:

This is the Golly rule that was briefly introduced in the introduction and was proved to be computation-universal in the missing paper:

Morita, K., Ueno, S: Computation-Universal Models of Two-Dimensional 16-state Reversible Cellular Automata, IEICE Trans. Inf. & Syst., E75-D,1, pp.141–147 (1992).

Code: Select all

  /* Put your state count, neighbor count, and function here */
  final static int numStates = 16;
  final static int numNeighbors = 4;
  private int rule[] = {0,4,8,3,1,10,6,7,2,9,5,11,12,13,14,15};

  /* order for nine neighbors is nw, ne, sw, se, n, w, e, s, c */
  /* order for five neighbors is n, w, e, s, c */
  int f(int[] a)
  {
    int s = 0;
    if ((a[3] & 4) > 0)
      s = s | 1;
    if ((a[1] & 8) > 0)
      s = s | 2;
    if ((a[0] & 1) > 0)
      s = s | 4;
    if ((a[2] & 2) > 0)
      s = s | 8;
    return rule[s];
  }
