Announcing the release of multi-value Discrete Dynamics Lab
-----------------------------------------------------------
Tools for researching discrete dynamical networks - 
from Cellular Automata to Random Boolean Networks and beyond.

This is a major update, including..
* Generalizing all aspects of DDLab for multi-value logic (up to 8
  values or colors), instead of just Boolean logic (0,1).
* Methods for finding multi-value "life"-like dynamics in 2d and
3d,
  with a variety of complex interacting/propagating
  structures: gliders, gliders-guns, self-replication, spirals
and 
  predator-prey dynamics. Some amazing examples are provided.

Multi-value DDLab includes many other new features, improvements
and
revisions.  Compiled versions are available for Unix, Linux, and
DOS. Irix and MacOSX versions are in the pipeline.  The code is
available on request subject to some conditions.

For further details and download see

or

Please distribute to other people or groups who might be
interested.
regards
Andy Wuensche
