JavaScript Takes on Genetically Evolving Cellular Automata
summary
JavaScript code implements one‑dimensional cellular automata using a JavaScript DOM prototype to render cells and evaluate rule 110, a known Turing‑complete rule. A genetic algorithm evolves per‑cell rule sets for the density‑classification GA task, running populations over many generations (example baseline 150 generations from literature) and showing incremental improvement but not perfect convergence in short runs; demos reproduce gliders and emergent triangle patterns.
