The last week of lecture will focus on using Cellular Automata as a lens to read the world. We'll challenge the orthogonal grid and question what processes can and should be described as a Cellular Automaton. We end the course looking for inspiration and knowledge in the microcosmic reality of single cell organisms and discuss the perception of intention in a biochemical reality.
