I initially dismissed it, because I was into only the Console RPGs, but I found it refreshing. I currently have an elven mage called Na'Chandra Iliason. And yes, I know, I should've taken a screenshot. This means that cellular automata can be compared like sets. It is the relative number of elements in a set.
Complexity is defined as the creation of increasingly diverse offspring.
Thus when an automaton's width is at its absolute maximum, it is at its true complexity. But to just compare the max intervals in automata is inherently meaningless, since many automata go to infinity. Thus the only way to really compare complexity is to compare the cardinality of the max. I think it's about time that automata have a mathematical basis, and this link is a vital one, for from here we can move to other domains. An important use of this is in comparing processes and rules.
