Basic Examples

Retrieve the resource:

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

Retrieve the default content:

In[2]:=
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]=
