'''Rule 30''' is a simple binary cellular automaton introduced by Stephen Wolfram on his book "A New Kind of Science" (1983). |

This rule is of particular interest because it produces complex, seemingly random patterns from simple, well-defined rules. Because of this, Wolfram believes that Rule 30, and cellular automata in general, are the key to understanding how simple rules produce complex structures and behaviour in nature. |
