Hi All,
Archean is a cellular automat with a vector of six reals per cell. Each step
the neighbor cells of a cell are averaged and the resulting vector is
multiplied with a fixed matrix. The result of the multiplication is then
added to the original cell.
If the values in the matrix are relatively low, all kinds of weird patterns
come into play. The patterns are always different and illustrate
self-organisation in a graphical nice way. Source and executable can be
downloaded from:

I would be interested in feed back.
