Cellular Automata and Fractal Evolution

Genetic Algorithms and Artificial Evolution - Classifier Systems

As an example, we make a classifier system for CA.

List the neighborhood configurations in some fixed order, and then the CA rule can be interpreted as a string of answers to the question "Does this neighborhood configuration give a live cell?"

The string of answers to these questions is the genotype of the CA.

For example, N = 3, S = 2 CA have genotypes of the form

So the CA with genotype has the rule .
