Cellular Automata & Computer Chess: History and Components

This presentation explores cellular automata, tracing its historical roots and applications in modelling dynamic systems. Key topics include foundational principles such as grids, state changes, and local interaction rules, complemented by examples like Conway's Game of Life and Langton's ant. We delve into Wolfram's contributions to computational theory and discuss parallels between cellular automata and computer chess. Practical applications in physics, biology, cryptography, and...
