Project: A Social Network for Elementary Cellular Automata

The idea to build a social network of ECA is based on the fact that a network can demonstrate similarities between ECAs in a multidimensional way. ECAs express behavior that can be captured in many different ways. An ECA can have a feature in common with some ECAs, but not with others. Once built, the network can be analyzed to define clusters of ECAs. Changes in the network can also be analyzed based on changes to the similarity criteria and initial conditions.
