Project: Unexpected Patterns in 1D Cellular Automata on 6 Colors

This Demonstration lets you explore unexpected patterns in specific 1D cellular automata on six colors. At first glance, a cellular automaton may appear chaotic; however, another coloring of the automaton may reveal an underlying pattern.

These specific cellular automata were found by analyzing the spikes in the plots on the second pane and looking at the slope of the red line. Large spikes in the data mark when the number of cells in a row goes from a lot of that color to almost none at the end of a large triangle.
