Persistent Structures in the Code 357 Cellular Automaton

A collection of the persistent structures in the k=3, r=1 totalistic code 357 cellular automaton

These structures were given on page 286 of Stephen Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science"

(4 columns, 6 rows)

Retrieve the resource:

In[1]:=
ResourceObject["Persistent Structures in the Code 357 Cellular Automaton"]
Out[1]=

Retrieve the default content:

ResourceData["Persistent Structures in the Code 357 Cellular Automaton"]
Out[2]=

Plot the first 200 steps in evolution for these structures:

In[3]:=
ArrayPlot[CellularAutomaton[{357, {3, 1}, 1}, {#Cells, 0}, 200], ImageSize -> {Automatic, 300}] & /@ Normal@ResourceData[
   "Persistent Structures in the Code 357 Cellular Automaton"]
Out[3]=

Find the repeating element of the third structure:

In[4]:=
ArrayPlot@
 Last@FindTransientRepeat[
   CellularAutomaton[{357, {3, 1}, 1}, {Normal@
      ResourceData[
        "Persistent Structures in the Code 357 Cellular Automaton"][[
       3, "Cells"]], 0}, 200],
   3]
Out[4]=
