A NONLINEAR DYNAMICS PERSPECTIVE OF WOLFRAM'S NEW KIND OF SCIENCE PART XIV: MORE BERNOULLI σ_τ-SHIFT RULES

Over the past eight years, we have studied one of the simplest, yet extremely interesting, dynamical systems; namely, the one-dimensional binary Cellular Automata. The most remarkable results have been presented in a series of papers which is concluded by the present article. The final stop of our odyssey is devoted to the analysis of the second half of the 30 Bernoulli σ τ -shift rules, which constitute the largest among the six groups in which we classified the 256 local rules. For all these 15 rules, we present the basin-tree diagrams obtained by using each bit string with L ≤ 8 as initial state, a summary of the characteristics of their ω-limit orbits, and the space-time patterns generated from the superstring. Also, in the last section we summarize the main results we obtained by means of our "nonlinear dynamics perspective".
