From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Rule Set

The rule set which governs the next state of this particular automaton is:

current pattern 111 110 101 100 011 010 001 000
new state for center cell 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0

[edit] Interesting Properties

Most notably, rule 90 has the appearance of a Sierpiński triangle when responding to an impulse (first row is all 0s with a 1 in the center).
