Google team's new paper: complex multi-step reasoning emerges in Neural Cellular Automata
pbaylies · x · 2026-10-02
The Paradigms of Intelligence team at Google published "Reasoning with Neural Cellular Automata (NCA)", exploring whether complex multi-step reasoning can emerge purely from cells communicating only with immediate neighbors—extending NCA beyond image tasks into sequential reasoning.
