:CA is actually the most accurate (there's a lot of mathematical BS written about CAs, but they're quite interesting in their own terms). In particular, this is actually a non-deterministic CA. It's also a simulation. We can categorize both ways; this is just categorization, not a class hierarchy! (Except it is an ''ontological'' hierarchy; that's a rather more sophisticated thing though, and objects can be instances of many classes in ontological terms.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 10:58, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

<br>The same thing with rule (4), it appears that the tree fills the space (grows to maturity) in one iteration. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
