Rule 182


ElementaryCARule182

Rule 182 is one of the elementary cellular automaton rules introduced by Stephen Wolfram in 1983 (Wolfram 1983, 2002). It specifies the next color in a cell, depending on its color and its immediate neighbors. Its rule outcomes are encoded in the binary representation 182=10110110_2. This rule is illustrated above together with the evolution of a single black cell it produces after 15 steps (Wolfram 2002, p. 55).

Rule 182 is amphichiral and has mirror complement rule 146.

Starting with a single black cell, successive generations n=0, 1, ... are given by interpreting the numbers 1, 7, 21, 127, 381, 1911, 5461, 32767, 98301, ... in binary, namely 1, 111, 10101, 1111111, 101111101, ....
