Nearest Neighbor

元素细胞自动机是二进制、临近邻居的、一维度的自动机。它有两个可能的状态——开和关，和一个基于他最接近的邻居的状态的规则。它的下一代是建立在他左边的细胞的状态，细胞自己的状态和他右边细胞的状态。
随着时间的发展，细胞们将产生类似自然界里许多复杂的结构和过程。这些结构可能会进入周期循环，可能会停留在固定的状态，也可能会既不是完全的随机混乱，又没有固定的周期和状态。
遵循最简单的规则，每个细胞都被他的相邻的细胞所影响。这些基本的组成单元相互影响着，发展在规则和无序之间。
Elementary cellular automata is a binary, nearest-neighbor, one-dimensional automaton. It has two possible states for each cell - on or off, and rules that depend only on the state of its nearest neighbourhood. The next generation based on the state of the cell to its left, the state of the cell itself, and the state of the cell to its right.
Over time, cells will produce many complex structures and processes similar to those in nature. These structures may enter a periodic cycle, may stay in a fixed state, or may be neither completely random nor chaotic, nor have a fixed period and state.
Following the simplest rule, every cell is affected by its nearest neighbourhood. These basic unit influence each other and develop between order and chaos.
