Introducing LACE – A New Kind of Cellular Automata | Nova Spivack

This article is about a new kind of simple computational rule ("LACE rules" running on LACE, the Link Automata Computing Engine platform) which, when applied locally on a grid of cells, demonstrates fascinating emergent "artificial life" behavior. For readers familiar with the Game of Life (GOL), this is a next-level class of cellular automata that
