A collection of rules and their repetition periods as a function of size
Originator: Stephen Wolfram
A plot of these repetition periods as originally provided on page 260 of A New Kind of Science (Wolfram, 2002) and a visualization was provided on page 259
(2 columns, 5 rows)
View the data:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
Find the systems provided:
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= |
Find the systems sizes for rule 90 with repetition period between 5 and 50:
| In[3]:= | ![]() |
| Out[3]= |
Plot these:
| In[4]:= | ![]() |
| Out[4]= | ![]() |
Highlight the repeating blocks:
| In[5]:= | ![]() |
| Out[5]= | ![]() |
