- excellular: Cellular Automata with Excel (github.com)
This spreadsheet contains two cellular automata: the classic elementary automata described by Stephen Wolfram in A New Kind of Science, and a 4-color totalistic automata described by Kenneth E. Perry in the December 1986 issue of BYTE magazine.

COMPUTER-GENERATED mathematical art is art created by pure mathematics as opposed to other forms of computer graphics. In this article, the mathematical entities are “one-dimensional cellular automata.” I have found their study exciting and astounding.
- Northern Hemisphere (Wikipedia)
The Northern Hemisphere is the half of Earth that is north of the Equator. For other planets in the Solar System, north is defined as being in the same celestial hemisphere relative to the invariable plane of the Solar System as Earth’s North Pole.

- Cellular Automata (plato.standford.edu)
Cellular automata (henceforth: CA) are discrete, abstract computational systems that have proved useful both as general models of complexity and as more specific representations of non-linear dynamics in a variety of scientific fields. Firstly, CA are (typically) spatially and temporally discrete: they are composed of a finite or denumerable set of homogeneous, simple units, the atoms or cells. At each time unit, the cells instantiate one of a finite set of states. They evolve in parallel at discrete time steps, following state update functions or dynamical transition rules: the update of a cell state obtains by taking into account the states of cells in its local neighborhood (there are, therefore, no actions at a distance).
