Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

And so it was that I set about running programs that I later learned were a simplified version of what had been called “cellular automata” before. Nothing I’ve learned in these 36 years has dulled the strength and beauty of rule 30 and those early discoveries about complexity. There are exciting—and surprising—things.

But first we have to go back a bit in the story.
