Stephen Wolfram
Cellular Automata
Wolfram was an early and prolific contributor to developing an understanding cellular automata
Wolfram has made it his life's work to study the space of all possible 'simple programs'. These simple programs are what are encoded as cellular automata, which we have seen are systems that change states based on rules related to the state of their neighbors. As there can be a range of state rules, and a range of starting conditions, it is possible to explore the range of rule sets, and see which of these yields complex behaviors. Wolfram has been able to demonstrate that there are a wide range of simple rules which produce complex effects.
