2D BZ Reaction

The Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) Cellular automaton rules as presented in the August 1988 issue of Scientific American by Professor A. K. Dewdney This cellular automaton provides an illustration of order emerging "spontaneously" from chaos. Starting from an array whose cells are in randomly assigned states, patterns eventually emerge. In other words, non-randomness emerges from randomness. This has significance for the question of whether complicated biological organisms can emerge from simpler ones as a result of chance occurrences (such as genetic mutations).
