Title
Physically Based, Self-Organizing Cellular Automata
Abstract
Abstract. A physically,based system,of interacting polyhedral,objects is used to model,self-assembly and spontaneous organization of complex structures. The surfaces of the polyhedra,in the simulation,are covered,with bonding,sites in states akin to those of cellular automata. The bonding,sites interact with sites on neighbouring,polyhedra,to apply,forces of attraction and repulsion between,bodies and to trigger transitions in their states. Using only these mechanisms, the elements exhibit chaining, membrane and cluster formation, and differentiation / segregation. Examples of each of these phenomena,are given along,with explanations,as to how,they are formed. Assembly,without the guidance,of an external agent or central control is infrequently used in the construction of complex artificial structures, but is the norm,for biological construction. This paper presents a model,by which,the construction of complex structures may be simulated using multiple reactive, artificial agents, acting independently under artificial physical and chemical laws.
