Three-Color Cellular Automaton Rules that Double Their Input

A list of rules for k=3 cellular automata that eventually double a block of gray input cells

A collection of these rules originally appears on page 833 of "A New Kind of Science" (Wolfram, 2002)

Basic Examples

Retrieve the ResourceObject:

In[1]:=
ResourceObject["Three-Color Cellular Automaton Rules that Double \ Their Input"]
Out[1]=

View part of the data:

In[2]:=
Take[ResourceData[ "Three-Color Cellular Automaton Rules that Double Their Input"], 10]
Out[2]=

Visualization

See how the first 10 rules act on inputs of length 10:

In[3]:=
ArrayPlot[ CellularAutomaton[{#, 3}, {Append[Table[1, 10], 2], 0}, 100]] & /@ Take[ResourceData[ "Three-Color Cellular Automaton Rules that Double Their Input"], 10]
Out[3]=

See that this holds when input length and evaluation steps are doubled:

In[4]:=
ArrayPlot[ CellularAutomaton[{#, 3}, {Append[Table[1, 20], 2], 0}, 200]] & /@ Take[ResourceData[ "Three-Color Cellular Automaton Rules that Double Their Input"], 10]
Out[4]=
