The images exhibited are shown below.
Complexity is bounded by Order and Disorder.
As scientists, we have explored the nature of the relationship between these different regimes of behavior using small formal universes. There is a remarkable aesthetic quality to the relationship, which we illustrate here. Space extends horizontally, and successive states of the 1D-universe in time are plotted vertically. Starting with random initial states, ordered CA quickly settle to stationary or repetitive patterns. Disordered CA do not settle for a very long time.
