A cellular automaton is a mathematical object that consists of usually an infinite regular grid of cells, each of which may be in a finite number of states and a set of transition rules, according to which the cells change their states simultaneously in discrete time steps. These transitional stages are represented by the shades of the two userdefined colors. There are a number of common features, but the only universal property is that they are comprised of a number of discrete elements called cells. However, the question that immediately arises is which cell. Journal of cellular automata rg journal impact rankings.
