Programmable Cellular Automata: CA rules as readable code for explainability
Amidos2006 · x · 2026-09-11
Classic cellular automata encode rules as lookup tables, limiting expressiveness, while neural CAs are expressive but opaque. The author introduces Programmable Cellular Automata (PCA), where each rule is written as human-readable code, combining expressiveness with explainability. A collaborator adds that this yields much better interpretability.
