Brian Silverman's Brain Cellular Automata in Processing

Brian Silverman's Brain CA in Processing Brian Silverman's Brain rule is a cellular automata (CA) with slightly more complex rules than Conway's game of life.  Generally, I find the Brain Rule to be more resilent & dynamic than Conway's.  Random initializations tend to run for a long time and stabilizations are almost always in motion.

I built my implementation with processing and referred to Rudy Rucker's "Artificial Life Lab" for details.
