Whenever there is a flotilla of ships in Star Trek, they seem to always arrange themselves into a two-dimensional plane and orient themselves according to their artificial gravity. This evokes ships at sea. Starfleet seems to use a naval ra

Given his passion for cellular automata and the timing of his post, it would have been nice if Wolfram had at least mentioned the late great Conway and his recent passing.
