Description for The Universe as Automaton. from Simplicity and Symmetry to Complexity.
Paperback. Going beyond the numerical experiments of Steven Wolfram, this book argues that cellular automata must be considered complex dynamical systems in their own right, requiring appropriate analytical models in order to find precise answers and predictions in the universe of cellular automata. Series: SpringerBriefs in Complexity. Num Pages: 116 pages, 30 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBCD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 10. Weight in Grams: 189.
This Brief is an essay at the interface of philosophy and complexity research, trying to inspire the reader with new ideas and new conceptual developments of cellular automata. Going beyond the numerical experiments of Steven Wolfram, it is argued that cellular automata must be considered complex dynamical systems in their own right, requiring appropriate analytical models in order to find precise answers and predictions in the universe of cellular automata.
Indeed, eventually we have to ask whether cellular automata can be considered models of the real world and, conversely, whether there are limits to our modern approach of attributing the world, and the ... Read more

Reviews for The Universe as Automaton. from Simplicity and Symmetry to Complexity.
From the reviews: “This book contains a great deal of some central topics and actual problems of cellular automata theory. It is an introduction which emphasizes the mathematically interesting and beauty aspects of cellular automata and complex dynamical systems as well as their synthesis on an ambitious level suitable for graduate students and researchers. … To understand the complex ...
