Conway's Game of Life with adjustable parameters for structure, density, or dynamics.

What Is Cellular Automata?

Cellular Automata refers to conway's game of life and emergent patterns in chaos & complex systems. This page visualizes the phenomenon with interactive controls so you can change parameters and observe how the model responds.

What To Observe

  • Watch how the visual pattern or system response changes as you adjust the controls for Cellular Automata.
  • Relate each visual change to the core phenomenon shown here: conway's game of life and emergent patterns.
  • Use repeated runs with one parameter changed at a time to build intuition.

Try These Experiments

  • Start with default settings, then change one slider at a time.
  • Record what increases, decreases, or becomes unstable as parameters vary.
  • Use screenshots or notes to compare patterns between runs.
