This paper deals with the spontaneous emergence of glider guns in cellular automata. An evolutionary search for glider guns with different parameters is described and other search techniques are also presented to provide a benchmark. We demonstrate t...

Computation with competing patterns in Life-like automaton: Binary adder implementation (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Genaro J., M., Kenichi, M., Adamatzky, A., & Maurice, M. (2010, June). Computation with competing patterns in Life-like automaton: Binary adder implementation. Presented at 9th International Conference on Unconventional Computation 2010, Univerisy of Tokyo, Japan

We study Life-like cellular automaton rule B2/S2345. This automaton exhibits a chaotic behaviour yet capable for purposeful computation. The automaton implements Boolean gates via patterns which compete for the space when propagate in channels. Value...
