Cellular Automata
Summary
The video 'Cellular Automata' by Rudy Rucker serves as a lengthy introduction to various types of cellular automata using his 'CA Lab' software from 1990. It explores well-known models such as Langton's worm and the Game of Life, demonstrating their dynamics and principles through visual simulations. While informative for enthusiasts of computational theory and automata, the video is bogged down by excessive detail and outdated presentation and may not engage a broader audience.
