Cool! Would be nice to get some explanation for this though.
These are Wolfram's rules, though?
How are they sorted here? It's kind of sorted by number, but then there's discontinuities in the numbering?
Also I wonder... Most of them aren't doing very interesting things, maybe there's a way to detect trivial loops and filter those out? (Maybe compression, as mentioned here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46942864 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46942864)
- paraschopra 9mo agoThese are all 256 rules. Where do you spot discontinuities? Also, each rule does show compressibility and other metrics like entropy
- andai 9mo agoWell, I didn't know there were 256 rules, I don't know how that works, and I'm one of the luckier ones who has heard about this stuff (but not much)! My point: add some context please, either as a top level comment, or much better, on the actual page.
