Explore all 256 elementary cellular automaton rules discovered by Stephen Wolfram. Watch Rule 30 produce chaos from order, Rule 90 draw Sierpinski triangles, Rule 110 compute (it's Turing-complete!) and Rule 184 model traffic flow.
Each cell looks at itself and its two neighbours, then applies a simple rule to determine the next state. 256 possible rules create an incredible diversity of behaviour.
Select a rule number (0-255) or pick a preset. Watch the automaton evolve row by row. Compare how tiny rule changes create vastly different patterns.
Wolfram's Rule 110 was proven Turing-complete in 2004 — meaning this tiny, one-dimensional system can compute anything a modern computer can, given enough time and space.
