Discrete dynamics lab: tools for investigating cellular automata and discrete dynamical networks

摘要

DDLab is interactive graphics software for creating and visualizing discrete dynamical networks, and studying their behavior in terms of both space-time patterns and basins of attraction. The networks can range from cellular automata to random Boolean networks. This article provides some general background, and gives the flavor of DDLab with a range of examples.
