generations Keywords: I'd like to do some research involving systematic modulation of the lambda parameter (Langton's term); does anyone have a simulator built already that supports this concept? The next best thing would be user rule tables that can be switched between generations. Can any users of cellsim or Autodesk CA-Lab comment on the ease of doing this in either of those environments? One or two dimensional simulators are OK. I'm also interested in any existing research along these lines, particularly regarding adaptation, such as evolving CA's to perform some task. I know the work suggesting the critical or edge of chaos zone is better for adaptation, and saw the recent post by Packard suggesting that some of those results may have been artifacts of the problem structure.
