Here are some cool ones I found: Traveling pyramid: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,3,2,0,1,1,2,2,1,3,1,2,2,3,2,1,2,1,1,3,1,0,2,2,0,3,2,2,1,2,3,0,1,0,3,2,0 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,3,2,0,1,1,2,2,1,3... Coral-like tendrils (turn up the speed a bit): http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,1,2,1,3,1,2,2,1,1,3,1,2,0,2,1,2,2,3,2,2,2,0,2,0,1,1,2,2,1,0,3,2,0,1,2,1 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,1,2,1,3,1,2,2,1,1...

This is great, but can't you only show me drawings which halt? I sit there waiting and I don't know if they'll stop...
- pasquinelli 13y ago
  that's a hard design decision.
  - zeckalpha 13y ago
    Yeah, I'm undecided.

  I'm sure someone on rentacoder can figure it out: http://blog.willbenton.com/2008/11/rent-a-coder-hilarity/ http://blog.willbenton.com/2008/11/rent-a-coder-hilarity/

  The world is finite, so every drawing eventually loops. However, the state space is something like k * 2^18 * n^(2^18), where k is the number of states and n the number of symbols. For the default (4, 3) this is 3.125 * 10^125080, so you could be waiting for a while :)
  - yakiv 13y ago
    Would every drawing have to loop? Pi doesn't. I personally don't actually know if there's something about this specifically that would force every drawing to loop, though.
- lsb 13y ago
  If it's a limited number of states in the automaton, and a limited amount of "tape" in the canvas, it's not a Turing machine, it's a Finite-State Automaton, which is easy to analyze for loops.

  Here's one that halts very late: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#3,3,1,2,0,1,1,0,0,2,3,1,1,3,2,1,3,0,2,1,1,1,1,2,2,3,0,2,0 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#3,3,1,2,0,1,1,0,0,2,3... And here's an amazing one: it fills the canvas, getting slower and slower. It will probably take days to complete fill it: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#10,3,9,2,1,5,2,3,8,1,2,9,1,1,4,2,1,5,1,2,9,2,2,1,1,2,6,1,0,3,1,1,7,2,0,5,1,3,4,2,1,4,2,0,8,1,1,1,2,3,0,1,1,0,1,1,9,1,3,0,1,2,0,1,1,5,2,2,5,2,0,5,2,2,7,1,0,1,1,0,9,2,1,8,2,0,6,2,0,4,2,3 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#10,3,9,2,1,5,2,3,8,1,...

  Is it even fully comprehensible why this particular configuration looks like sand?
  - tachyonbeam 13y ago
    Original author here. It only has 3 states and 6 symbols, so the transition table is not that big. If you visualized it slow enough, you might be able to understand the process behind it, so to speak. Although sometimes, simple rules can yield chaotic behavior. Someone told me they were working on a fork with utilities to visualize the transitions, that might be helpful.
    - abecedarius 13y ago
      That was me but so far it's just something I'd like to see. If anyone else would like to tackle it I'd be happy to watch theirs. The general idea is a graph of the states and transitions (laid out by d3 or something?), labeled by color with little arrows for the next direction, with the current state and transition highlighted. Also a magnified 'fat bits' view of the head's neighborhood. You'd only see these at the slower speeds where you can conceivably follow, like the marker around the head in the current system. Also you'd want single-stepping to go with this. I have added that but not pushed it to the webpage or the repo. (There was some little bug I haven't got to.)

  This is actually very good compared to other findings; the pattern starts to disappear and then regenerates itself in different ways. Accompanying horizontal lines look like an ocean.

I found a glider! http://www.wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,2,2,1,3,2,2,3,2,1,2,2,2,2,1,0,0,1,1,3,2,0,3,2,3,3,2,3,2,1,2,1,2,2,0,2,1 http://www.wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,2,2,1,3,2,2,3... The glider appears after a few seconds of high speed. Very nice implementation!

  I got some bubbles wandering up the screen quite slowly: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,1,2,2,0,1,3,2,1,2,3,2,1,1,1,2,2,2,0,0,2,3,3,1,0,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,3,3,2,0 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,1,2,2,0,1,3,2,1,2... Not exactly a glider, but it looks like this does at the start, but reversed...sort of... (maybe)
cookingrobot 13y ago
Love how long this takes to evolve. Nice to watch fast or slow. http://www.wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,0,2,0,3,2,0,2,1,2,3,1,2,3,2,1,2,1,1,1,2,1,3,2,2,2,2,0,2,2,2,1,1,2,1,2,0 http://www.wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,0,2,0,3,2,0,2...

  The steady state at the end on a very slow setting is awesome.

  And its counterpart, Metropolis, Rising: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,3,2,0,0,1,2,1,1,3,2,2,2,3,1,1,2,1,2,3,2,0,0,1,3,2,2,0,1,1,2,0,1,3,0,1,2 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,3,2,0,0,1,2,1,1,3... Really cool how it just keeps on going, with the shadows of more towers appearing to stretch out from the city centers, and the lights of cars driving down the left and right sides. I've had it running at high speed for quite a while now and buildings keep rising up occasionally.

  Well, if the machine has only two states, it has only a single bit of internal memory. This means (almost) all information is in the picture. Brain dump: A one-state TM has no hidden state -- this means that it has no way to look at the surroundings (only the current field), which makes them rather boring. (All you'll get is lines or planes of one color, they cannot sensibly navigate the second dimension.) Two-state TMs are 'clever' enough to change the color after moving, which means they can draw corners and thereby use the whole 2d plane. They still have to put all information into the picture, meaning you get to see all the gory details of information flow. You don't have the transition table, but you can read most of it off the image. You'll see all paths or areas in which movement in a single direction can happen without changing the color. Everything else has to be left in the picture, which means it will constantly overwrite stuff. This, in turn, means that it'll likely use groups of colors for one purpose. Example: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#2,8,0,3,2,1,7,3,0,7,0,0,6,1,1,6,3,0,3,0,0,1,3,0,3,0,1,6,3,1,3,2,1,1,2,1,3,1,0,6,2,0,5,2,1,6,1,1,5,3 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#2,8,0,3,2,1,7,3,0,7,0... The start is boring: red - turn green & go up, green - turn black & go down, black - turn pink & move right (so far this could be done by a 1-state TM.) Pink does some state changes and introduces cyan, shortly after you'll see it 'sewing' to the left, leaving a thick structured line across the image, which is then expanded into a yellow-green covering of the whole black area (see how black/pink move right and cyan/yellow give turning directions and create yellow/green?) and then... ah, well just look at it. Three-state TMs can hide quite a lot of information. As an example, the extra state can be used as a movement state, allowing non-destructive movement in one direction. (On jump mark (say, white), change to state #3 and keep going until you hit the next jump mark.) It can also be used to non-destructively look in one direction (e.g. for testing what color the left neighbor has). Combinations thereof can do pretty crazy stuff. Adding more states basically just allows 'compressing' the picture more, which makes it more likely that you'll only see noise - especially if the TMs are randomly generated.

This is great. Here's a bug report: If your browser window is narrow, the "Fork Me on GitHub" link overlaps the "Pause" button. (But the overlapping part of the GitHub image is transparent, so it's not immediately obvious why "Pause" doesn't work.) The page content fits just fine, so it seems silly to make the window larger; there's just this little bug.

  Thanks, Scott! As a quick patch I just broke the line of buttons in two. (I didn't want to mess with the original code more than needed, but couldn't resist adding the new buttons.)

Some of these could be quite useful for graphics algorithms. For example: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,1,1,2,1,2,1,0,2,3,0,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,1,2,3,3,2,3,3,2,2,2,1,3,0,2,1,1,1,1 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,1,1,2,1,2,1,0,2,3... Is a pretty amazing simulation of fire with wind (although rotated 90°). And that 'Glider' one from the other post could work as water on a car wind shield while driving.

  After a while it looks like a parabola. Perhaps this is because the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the square root of 2?

This is the best one I found so far. Most of them either freeze, run in a loop or turn to noise. This one turns into chaos, but maintains structure. http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,3,2,3,0,1,1,2,2,2,0,2,0,3,2,2,3,1,2,1,1,0,1,2,3,3,2,2,0,1,0,2,2,1,1,1,1 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,3,2,3,0,1,1,2,2,2...

  If you slow it way down after it 'freezes' you can get an idea how it's caught in a loop. (I wonder how many people have noticed you can slow it way down to see the head move.)

Here are some of my favorites. One of them (Counter) behaves strangely. It doesn't appear to be stable, but it takes a long, long time to change appreciably. Another one (Sewing Machine) seems semi-stable in that it seems to settle around the same kind of almost-but-not-quite-chaotic pattern.

I wonder if one could construct a metric for how 'interesting' a drawing is- then throw it at a genetic algorithm? I'm guessing most likely the system is inherently unstable, so two 'interesting' parents don't necessarily create 'interesting' offspring
- tachyonbeam 13y ago
  You don't have to use crossover, you can just make small mutations. That's much more likely to result in interesting offspring.

Wolframite here: these would make a good summer school project for our summer school (plug: the 2013 one is coming up, apply at https://www.wolframscience.com/summerschool/ https://www.wolframscience.com/summerschool/ if you're interested in this kind of stuff and want to do a 3-week project). In fact I studied the space-filling behavior of precisely these 2D Turing machines in 2009. For low numbers of states and colors you can enumerate them exhaustively and calculate the distribution of space-filling efficiency (log-normal, if anyone is interested). The full spectrum of behavior is quite fascinating to catalog. All these kinds of simple computational system have a character and 'zaniness' all their own. Putting on a more scientific hat, it might be interesting to look at block-entropy measures and find interesting rulesets that way. P.S. To the author: this is a great implementation! Really nice to play with.

What would happen if these were constrained to run inside irregularly shaped "skins" and bred for "fitness" against some criteria. For example, take a look at Marsaglia's die hard tests for statistical randomness. Any machine that terminates would have a very low random coefficient, and any that turns to noise would have a very high random coefficient. Similarly, ones that repeat quickly could also be selected against. All that remains is to restrict the number of critters, as specified by the number of "skins" and "breed" new critters from old ones which were successful (with a "pleasing" statistical randomness coefficient).

This is great, but can't you only show me drawings which halt? I sit there waiting and I don't know if they'll stop...

The world is finite, so every drawing eventually loops. However, the state space is something like k * 2^18 * n^(2^18), where k is the number of states and n the number of symbols. For the default (4, 3) this is 3.125 * 10^125080, so you could be waiting for a while :)
- yakiv 13y ago
  Would every drawing have to loop? Pi doesn't. I personally don't actually know if there's something about this specifically that would force every drawing to loop, though.
lsb 13y ago
If it's a limited number of states in the automaton, and a limited amount of "tape" in the canvas, it's not a Turing machine, it's a Finite-State Automaton, which is easy to analyze for loops.

Is it even fully comprehensible why this particular configuration looks like sand?
- tachyonbeam 13y ago
  Original author here. It only has 3 states and 6 symbols, so the transition table is not that big. If you visualized it slow enough, you might be able to understand the process behind it, so to speak. Although sometimes, simple rules can yield chaotic behavior. Someone told me they were working on a fork with utilities to visualize the transitions, that might be helpful.
  - abecedarius 13y ago
    That was me but so far it's just something I'd like to see. If anyone else would like to tackle it I'd be happy to watch theirs. The general idea is a graph of the states and transitions (laid out by d3 or something?), labeled by color with little arrows for the next direction, with the current state and transition highlighted. Also a magnified 'fat bits' view of the head's neighborhood. You'd only see these at the slower speeds where you can conceivably follow, like the marker around the head in the current system. Also you'd want single-stepping to go with this. I have added that but not pushed it to the webpage or the repo. (There was some little bug I haven't got to.)

Well, if the machine has only two states, it has only a single bit of internal memory. This means (almost) all information is in the picture. Brain dump: A one-state TM has no hidden state -- this means that it has no way to look at the surroundings (only the current field), which makes them rather boring. (All you'll get is lines or planes of one color, they cannot sensibly navigate the second dimension.) Two-state TMs are 'clever' enough to change the color after moving, which means they can draw corners and thereby use the whole 2d plane. They still have to put all information into the picture, meaning you get to see all the gory details of information flow. You don't have the transition table, but you can read most of it off the image. You'll see all paths or areas in which movement in a single direction can happen without changing the color. Everything else has to be left in the picture, which means it will constantly overwrite stuff. This, in turn, means that it'll likely use groups of colors for one purpose. Example: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#2,8,0,3,2,1,7,3,0,7,0,0,6,1,1,6,3,0,3,0,0,1,3,0,3,0,1,6,3,1,3,2,1,1,2,1,3,1,0,6,2,0,5,2,1,6,1,1,5,3 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#2,8,0,3,2,1,7,3,0,7,0... The start is boring: red - turn green & go up, green - turn black & go down, black - turn pink & move right (so far this could be done by a 1-state TM.) Pink does some state changes and introduces cyan, shortly after you'll see it 'sewing' to the left, leaving a thick structured line across the image, which is then expanded into a yellow-green covering of the whole black area (see how black/pink move right and cyan/yellow give turning directions and create yellow/green?) and then... ah, well just look at it. Three-state TMs can hide quite a lot of information. As an example, the extra state can be used as a movement state, allowing non-destructive movement in one direction. (On jump mark (say, white), change to state #3 and keep going until you hit the next jump mark.) It can also be used to non-destructively look in one direction (e.g. for testing what color the left neighbor has). Combinations thereof can do pretty crazy stuff. Adding more states basically just allows 'compressing' the picture more, which makes it more likely that you'll only see noise - especially if the TMs are randomly generated.

This is great. Here's a bug report: If your browser window is narrow, the "Fork Me on GitHub" link overlaps the "Pause" button. (But the overlapping part of the GitHub image is transparent, so it's not immediately obvious why "Pause" doesn't work.) The page content fits just fine, so it seems silly to make the window larger; there's just this little bug.

I really appreciate this art of randomness, and in particular the fact that it is theoretically equivalent to any computing machine (given much, much more memory and states).

pepijndevos 13y ago

This is the best one I found so far. Most of them either freeze, run in a loop or turn to noise. This one turns into chaos, but maintains structure. http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,3,2,3,0,1,1,2,2,2,0,2,0,3,2,2,3,1,2,1,1,0,1,2,3,3,2,2,0,1,0,2,2,1,1,1,1 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,3,2,3,0,1,1,2,2,2... It's like a wave moving to the bottom left. It has been doing the same thing for a while now, but I have not yet found any repetitions.

this diagonal line repeats a few times and just "breaks" after a point. http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,3,2,2,1,1,3,0,2,2,3,1,2,2,1,1,1,1,3,0,2,3,0,1,1,2,1,3,2,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,2 http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,3,2,2,1,1,3,0,2,2... I thought it was a bug at first, but it actually does it every time (speed up if you're impatient)

If you slow it way down after it 'freezes' you can get an idea how it's caught in a loop. (I wonder how many people have noticed you can slow it way down to see the head move.)

Here are some of my favorites. One of them (Counter) behaves strangely. It doesn't appear to be stable, but it takes a long, long time to change appreciably. Another one (Sewing Machine) seems semi-stable in that it seems to settle around the same kind of almost-but-not-quite-chaotic pattern.

I wonder if one could construct a metric for how 'interesting' a drawing is- then throw it at a genetic algorithm? I'm guessing most likely the system is inherently unstable, so two 'interesting' parents don't necessarily create 'interesting' offspring

You don't have to use crossover, you can just make small mutations. That's much more likely to result in interesting offspring.

Wolframite here: these would make a good summer school project for our summer school (plug: the 2013 one is coming up, apply at https://www.wolframscience.com/summerschool/ https://www.wolframscience.com/summerschool/ if you're interested in this kind of stuff and want to do a 3-week project). In fact I studied the space-filling behavior of precisely these 2D Turing machines in 2009. For low numbers of states and colors you can enumerate them exhaustively and calculate the distribution of space-filling efficiency (log-normal, if anyone is interested). The full spectrum of behavior is quite fascinating to catalog. All these kinds of simple computational system have a character and 'zaniness' all their own. Putting on a more scientific hat, it might be interesting to look at block-entropy measures and find interesting rulesets that way. P.S. To the author: this is a great implementation! Really nice to play with.

What would happen if these were constrained to run inside irregularly shaped "skins" and bred for "fitness" against some criteria. For example, take a look at Marsaglia's die hard tests for statistical randomness. Any machine that terminates would have a very low random coefficient, and any that turns to noise would have a very high random coefficient. Similarly, ones that repeat quickly could also be selected against. All that remains is to restrict the number of critters, as specified by the number of "skins" and "breed" new critters from old ones which were successful (with a "pleasing" statistical randomness coefficient).
