Everything is a going through slow decay

I think I’m more of a extreme decay dude.

Looks like perlin noise

termite mound generator!

3d noise would be more performant

I saw a little indie game ‘dev talk’ the other day and he used CA to round out the edges in his cave-gen algorithm. It was pretty neat.

@@jsblack02 was that Brian walker's talk?

pretty much just a sierpinski octahedron

It probably is. You have many cellular automata producing this pattern. Just in the elementary cellular automata Sierpinsky triangles generate from Rule 60, Rule 90, Rule 102, Rule 110, Rule 126, Rule 182, Rule 129 and many others: mathworld.wolfram.com/ElementaryCellularAutomaton.html

yea

It is like a Sierpinski triangle but actually isn't because any holes in a 3D Sierpinski triangle would be inside it an not visible

that's what i was thinking that but simpler like: dats a fracal

I was not aware that he passed away ... What a loss.

@Brad dіe Irriterend III Just like Tchaikovsky came to hate his 1812 Overture as a minor part of his corpus.

@Brad dіe Irriterend III wasn't it just because he became so defined by it in the public's eye that he tried to push it away so people would look at his other work as well?

@Brad dіe Irriterend III *sigh* that's exactly the bullshit he was unhappy about, I'd imagine

@Brad dіe Irriterend III what he means is that way of thinking is exactly what the guy hated. People thinking "oh wow you are the game of lifes's creator! Your other stuff must be absolutely great!" He didn't want himself to be defined by it. Nor his others works compared to it

Thx, I was also wondering what the colors are representing

cough cough... I show fractal images to kids and adults to examine their aesthetic preferences and the way in which they perceive dynamic processes. I have plans to use cellular automata for stimuli as well. I'm a phd student in cognitive neuroscience and developmental psychology. It's really fun.

Scott Wallner do you have any published info/more info on that? Sounds interesting

@@dennyhamrick2552 My studies were halted this spring when things got shut down. I was piloting a experiment which used iterations of simple fractals to examine participants aesthetic preference using a looking time paradigm. I plan to continue work in this area when things go back to normal. I am fortunate to have spent some time collaborating on other fractal research projects at the University of Oregon with Richard Taylor and Margaret Sereno who have published a number of fractal related studies.

Stephen Wolfram produced a series of papers systematically investigating all 88 of the possible one-dimensional elementary cellular automata (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_cellular_automaton). He conjectured that one variant ("Rule 110") is Turing-complete and therefore capable of universal computation. This was later proven by Matthew Cook. The 2D cellular automaton that defines Conway's "Game of Life" is also Turing-complete. I would expect that several 3D automata are also Turing-complete since there are so many possibilities.

@@FahlmanCascade where did you get 88 from? There are 256. Each elementary cellular automata is made up of a series of cells; single pixels that can hold either a 1 or a 0. Each cell evolves over time by examining its 'neighbourhood' - it checks the state of itself and the two adjacent cells and determines its next state from that. In total, there are 2^3 = 8 different possible states for this neighbourhood of three cells. Each cell can choose its next state as either 1 or 0 based on which of these neighbourhood states it is in, giving 2^8 = 256 different possible rules. Of course, some of these rules will be mirror images of the others. 64 of the rules are symmetrical, leaving 192 rules with a mirror image or 96 distinct asymmetrical rules. That's a total of 160 distinct rules, even when removing mirrored rules.

They kinda remind me of Perlin noise

Yes Ant Colony

Glad you noticed that too. Thought I was the only one.

writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/04/finally-we-may-have-a-path-to-the-fundamental-theory-of-physics-and-its-beautiful/ could be a very good reason for that.

I'm still looking for a cellular automata that makes lattice QCD happen

@@HermanWillems I just read that article, and it detonated my wig much more than I was prepared for, especially after watching Eric Weinstein's Geometric Unity presentation recently. I'm also mind blown that URL was delivered to me via a UKposts comment. well done/10

It's only because that's what 3 dimensional noise looks like. It's just pure randomness, which we don't see in 3D very often because it is dominated by spherical symmetry.

or bust

The End's outer islands

🤔

It's just perlin noise in 3d, look it up.

@@RegahP Looks a bit like it, just a thresholded one

I think the rules here are much more complex and take more previous steps into account than Conway's Life. Part of the appeal of that is that there are basically three rules, each cell only has to check eight others, and each tick evolves independently from the previous tick. I'm sure there are rulesets that simple with results that complex in 3D automata, but these are more custom-made.

He died in my hometown

Who?

@@Tomas-ml9nv the person thats mentioned in the comment maybe??

The builder would be awesome too

I'm sure he knows. As far as I can tell, this is simply a 3D extrapolation of 1D elementary cellular automata, with each cell state determined by the preceding states of a 27 cell neighbourhood instead of 3. Of course, even if the rules are a bit different and the cells check more of the field in either space or time, it's still an extrapolation of the same basic concept.

Visions of Chaos does support rendering these as stereoscopic 3D (or as the red blue glasses anaglyph 3D).

Right! You can do it in any dimension

Same

Halfway through it kinda looks like the structure of an aerogel

The "slow decay" one is very similar to the future of the universe... Hmmmm...

It is

@Laurence Vanhelsuwe " I wonder if any modern 3D games use a cellular automaton at their core?" It's too slow for that purpose. It's used for things like spreading fire in some game engines.

I do have the option to render as side by side 3D. Also red/blue or red/cyan anaglyph glasses. The 3D effect works really well.
