LIFE with Short-Term Memory

  • Chapter
Game of Life Cellular Automata

Abstract

This chapter considers an extension to the standard framework of cellular automata in which, cells are endowed with memory of their previous state values. The effect of short-term memory, i.e., memory of only the latest states, in the (formally unaltered) Life rule is described in this work.
