His thesis is that the laws of physics can be generated by various cellular automata--simple programs pro...Sat, 21 Mar 2026 14:35:00 GMThttps://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/887/relativistic-cellular-automataCellular automata provide interesting models of physics: Google Scholar gives more than 25,000 results when searching for "cellular automata" physics. Google Scholar still gives more than...Wed, 11 Mar 2026 23:44:00 GMThttps://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/415213/what-is-a-finite-cellular-automatonCellular automata are well explained in their Wikipedia page. Most work on cellular automata is concentrated on systems where each cell can have a finite number of states; it is possible to consider systems with an infinite number of states, but this introduces all sorts of additional complications into the theory and it kind of defeats the whole point of cellular automata (which is, basically ...Mon, 09 Mar 2026 21:59:00 GMThttps://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/33850/cellular-automata-rules-for-quantum-mechanicsSolving quantum systems by discretizing the Schrodinger equation is fairly common practice, as it is for most numerical solutions to differential equations generally, but people usually don't think or talk about these numerical solutions as cellular automata, although you could think of them as such if it aids in understanding.Mon, 30 Mar 2026 08:12:00 GMThttps://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/841943/how-hyperbolic-tessellations-such-as-7-3-are-used-in-mera-regarding-quantuQuestion I've been particularly fascinated by the patterns found in 2D Poincaré disks, especially drawing from Maurice Margenstern's work on cellular automata in hyperbolic spaces. This got me wondering about the precise role these tessellations play in modeling quantum entanglement. My specific question is:Fri, 20 Mar 2026 19:37:00 GMThttps://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/221869/stephen-wolfram-claims-to-deduce-the-field-equations-from-cellular-automata-hasThe general consensus I recall from the release of the book was a big shrug from the physics community. Using cellular automata to replicate things that look like complex physics is very different from using them to actually predict anything useful. And, no, nobody every really saw anything useful - there are no peer-reviewed descriptions out there.Fri, 03 Apr 2026 08:43:00 GMThttps://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/413942/are-there-any-proved-consistent-quantum-continuous-cellular-automata-game-of-lifIf you define a cellular automaton as anything with discrete time and discrete space and fixed update rules, then obviously anything can be written as a cellular automaton. This is kind of like how almost every numerical simulation ever works. It’s just like how you could write any program in assembly if you really wanted to.Wed, 01 Apr 2026 18:40:00 GMThttps://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/345977/how-cellular-automata-simulations-are-not-in-violation-with-the-second-law-of-thI think that in general cellular automata systems and real world systems are quite different things. Set aside the 2nd law of thermodynamics for now. I don't think that there is even any attempt to conserve energy or even define an energy-like parameter in any cellular automata systems I've seen. Or how about conserving momentum or even defining momentum in cellular automata systems?Sat, 07 Mar 2026 00:40:00 GMThttps://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/19647/can-cellular-automata-be-reconcilied-with-quantum-mechanicsCells interact "locally" (only with the closest neighbours), while quantum entanglement proposes the opposite. So, in layman terms, what changes should be made in cellular automata in order to -if this is even possible- make them represent the universe realistically?Mon, 30 Mar 2026 08:12:00 GMThttps://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/29175/why-is-information-indestructibleHow is the claim "information is indestructible" compatible with "information is lost in entropy"? Let's make things as specific and as simple as possible. Let's forget about quantum physics and unitary dynamics, let's toy with utterly simple reversible cellular automata. Consider a spacetime consisting of a square lattice of cells with a trinary (3-valued) field defined on it. The values are ...Wed, 01 Apr 2026 17:21:00 GMT
