Nick, I put the standard Netlogo CA model set to rule 30 online here https://redfish.com/models/CARule30.html
Hit setup or setup-random then go. You can play with the rule set on the left. Note as a binary bits, the CA number ranges from 0-255 depending on which bits are switched on. Play with the show rules button too. [image: image.png] There are hundreds of others on the web, but the Netlogo version is easy for Miles to download and modify. And, he can get into agent-based modeling of so many other phenomena. We showed him a bit during his internship. There's also slime mold aggregation example in netlogo of which I previously posted Owen's agentscript.org version: https://www.netlogoweb.org/launch#https://www.netlogoweb.org/assets/modelslib/Sample%20Models/Biology/Slime.nlogo _______________________________________________________________________ stephen.gue...@simtable.com <stephen.gue...@simtable.com> CEO, Simtable http://www.simtable.com 1600 Lena St #D1, Santa Fe, NM 87505 office: (505)995-0206 mobile: (505)577-5828 twitter: @simtable z <http://zoom.com/j/5055775828>oom.simtable.com On Mon, Oct 25, 2021 at 10:44 AM <thompnicks...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, Barry, > > > > Yours was the only suggestion, so I really appreciate it. > > > > Before I wrote the list, I did go to that website and poke around, but did > not find what I was looking for.
