In this perspective, we examine three key aspects of an end-to-end pipeline for realistic cellular simulations: reconstruction and segmentation of cellular structures; generation of cellular structures; and mesh generation, simulation, and…

We compare several definitions for number-conserving cellular automata that we prove to be equivalent. A necessary and sufficient condition for \cas to be number-conserving is proved. Using this condition, we give a linear-time algorithm to…

We present a preliminary study of a new class of two-input cellular automata called eventually number-conserving cellular automata characterized by the property of evolving after a finite number of time steps to states whose number of…

A simple relation of the order of $n$ abstract objects generates an $n-2$ dimensional basis of three dimensional vectors. A cellular automaton-like model of evolution of this system is postulated. During this evolution, some quantities…

We propose a four-way classification of two-dimensional semi-totalistic cellular automata that is different than Wolfram's, based on two questions with yes-or-no answers: do there exist patterns that eventually escape any finite bounding…

Three reasonable hypotheses lead to the thesis that physical phenomena can be described and simulated with cellular automata. In this work, we attempt to describe the motion of a particle upon which a constant force is applied, with a…
