Cellular Automata update rules Mathematica?

As a general advice I would recommend against going down the pattern recognition technique in Mathematica for specifying the rule table in CA, they tend to get out of hand very quickly.

Before I give my best attempted answer, you have to realize that your question is oddly phrased. The update rules of your cellular automaton are specified by you, so I wouldn't know whether you have additional conditions you need to implement.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
