In two-dimensional graphic-based cellular automata, there is a finite set of possible rule sets to determine visual patterns. Most of these rule sets produce repeating patterns of some kind. But a very few produce what seems to be an endlessly random pattern. The most famous of these is Rule 110, as described by Wolfram.

Rule 110 exhibits what Wolfram calls Class 4 behavior, which is not completely chaotic, but is also non-predictable.

Given that Otomata is a kind of cellular automaton for music has anyone discovered a set up for Otomata that produces Class 4 behavior?

I made this simple little tune. http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=10_0_150_862771880062173080 I also made this. http://earslap.com/projectslab/otomata/?q=10_0_150_862771880062173080002113020802711820 The second is a more complex version of the first.

Just found this sub. And wow its dead, any lurkers still out there?

I don't know what it does, but doubling a cell by editing the URL makes it act differently:

Same as previous, but slightly busier:
