Incompleteness and Undecidability
Cellular automata are discrete, abstract computational systems that evolve in time according to a set of predetermined rules based on the states of neighboring cells. Each cell in the grid can be in one of a finite number of states, typically represented as 'on' or 'off', and the future state of each cell depends on its current state and the states of its adjacent cells. This concept is crucial for understanding complex systems and has strong connections to computational theory, including undecidability and the halting problem.
congrats on reading the definition of cellular automata. now let's actually learn it.
