Abstract
Recently there have been many attempts to evolve one-dimensional two-state cellular automata which classify binary strings according to their densities of 1's and 0's. The current best-known approaches involve particle-based systems of information transfer. A proof is given that there does not exist a two-state cellular automata which performs the task perfectly. This is true even in multiple dimensions.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
