1988: "CLOWN-like" pattern then Holographic Memory emerges from Fractal Chaos

When a "CLOWN-like" pattern emerges spontaneously from the CONWAY's cellular automata...


At ORIGINS of my research trip, at the end of "SEVENTIES" years, I was discovering power of basic primitive SELF-ORGANIZATION from primitive cellular automata...

I had the idea to run the famous "GAME of LIFE" of John Conway running -at the end of SEVENTIES - on large IBM computers... and on large 2-dimensions binary array spaces (100x100 digits was, at this computers story time, a very big Conway's cellular space...)

The famous Martin Gardner's paper in Scietific American:

More on Conway's cellular automata on WIKIPEDIA...

Here (step1) an initial full randomly distributed "white noise"... produces (step2)... basic differentied high level organic cells...
























Sometimes (step3) this small 7 binary cells "U letter" could emerge from chaos...

Then, if it has a sufficient 2-D space to propagates, it becomes (step4) a butterfly-like pattern then spontaneously this "CLOWN-like" pattern...

and finally an organic bistable flip-flop complex pattern like a kind of virtual human head bone-based skeleton!!!

OH LA LA !!! My (maths self-organization) God!















Then I had the idea to replace in the network each basic binary cell by the more complex virtual mathematical cell: a FRACTAL...

My neural networks model "FRACTAL CHAOS" was born...
