TLDR
Analysis is given of ''elementary'' cellular automata consisting of a sequence of sites with values 0 or 1 on a line, with each site evolving deterministically in discrete time steps according to p definite rules involving the values of its nearest neighbors.Abstract:
Cellular automata are used as simple mathematical models to investigate self-organization in statistical mechanics. A detailed analysis is given of "elementary" cellular automata consisting of a sequence of sites with values 0 or 1 on a line, with each site evolving deterministically in discrete time steps according to definite rules involving the values of its nearest neighbors. With simple initial configurations, the cellular automata either tend to homogeneous states, or generate self-similar patterns with fractal dimensions \ensuremath{\simeq} 1.59 or \ensuremath{\simeq} 1.69. With "random" initial configurations, the irreversible character of the cellular automaton evolution leads to several self-organization phenomena. Statistical properties of the structures generated are found to lie in two universality classes, independent of the details of the initial state or the cellular automaton rules. More complicated cellular automata are briefly considered, and connections with dynamical systems theory and the formal theory of computation are discussed.read more

Image and watermark registration
TL;DR: A selection of registration masks which can be deliberately overlaid on a watermarked or raw image, allowing the recovery of the correct registration, are presented, including perfect maps, perfect even and odd binary arrays, m-arrays and quasi- m -arrays.

The Evolutionary Design of Collective Computation in Cellular Automata
TL;DR: The ability of a genetic algorithm to design cellular automata that perform computations can be understood using a framework in which "particles" embedded in space-time configurations carry information and interactions between particles effect information processing.

Discontinuous transition from free flow to synchronized flow induced by short-range interaction between vehicles in a three-phase traffic flow model
TL;DR: This model accomplishes a significative process of developing traffic flow models from the traditional “fundamental diagram approach” to the three-phase traffic theory and simulates the correlation functions, time headway distributions and optimal velocity functions which are more consistent with the empirical data than the previous model and most of the other models published before.

Matrix product operators for sequence-to-sequence learning
TL;DR: A machine learning model is constructed in which matrix product operators are trained to implement sequence to sequence prediction, i.e. given a sequence at a time step, it allows one to predict the next sequence.

The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that a system of chemical substances, called morphogens, reacting together and diffusing through a tissue, is adequate to account for the main phenomena of morphogenesis.

Metabolic stability and epigenesis in randomly constructed genetic nets
TL;DR: The hypothesis that contemporary organisms are also randomly constructed molecular automata is examined by modeling the gene as a binary (on-off) device and studying the behavior of large, randomly constructed nets of these binary “genes”.

Diffusion-limited aggregation, a kinetic critical phenomenon
Abstract: A model for random aggregates is studied by computer simulation The model is applicable to a metal-particle aggregation process whose correlations have been measured previously Density correlations within the model aggregates fall off with distance with a fractional power law, like those of the metal aggregates The radius of gyration of the model aggregates has power-law behavior The model is a limit of a model of dendritic growth
