Von Neumann Cellular Automaton

Von Neumann Cellular Automaton model is the original expression of cellular automaton. It has 29 states which are the minimum for a self-replicating machine and all of which can be grouped into four categories: blank, transmission, confluent and transition states. It simulates real systems
