System for creating spatiotemporal patterns to entertain, teach and control

摘要

A system to produce spatiotemporal patterns, said system comprising: a plurality of cellular automata (CAa), and a plurality of inter-cellular memories; the contents of said inter-cellular memories condition the changes in said CAa.;Once activated, said systems produce spatiotemporal patterns. Said patterns can be puzzling, aesthetically pleasing, and teaching. Said patterns can control other devices and computer programs, demonstrate the notions known in science and engineering, model real world phenomena and systems. To produce desired patterns, the users of said system edit the contents of said inter-cellular memories. To be able to do more, said users are encouraged to learn computer programming.
