 Version:          1.0.12

 Project:          slippery chicken (algorithmic composition)

 Purpose:          Implementation of the wolfram class for one-dimensional
                   binary cellular automata introduced by Stephen Wolfram in
                   1983. The rule number is the decimal representation of
                   the binary number indicated by the eight transition rules
                   (i.e. the results given the triplet test cases; see the
                   rules slot below).

wolfram/defwolfram [ Methods ]

[ Top ] [ wolfram ] [ Methods ]

DATE

 June 6th 2017, Edinburgh

DESCRIPTION

 Define your own Wolfram function to create an object with the flavour in
 the rules passed. See below for several examples.

 In addition, the name of the newly created function will be added to an
 internal list of all functions defined by this macro, so that (try-all) can
 be called (see below).

ARGUMENTS

 - the name of the function you're defining (symbol)
 - the list of rules

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

 - the default width (integer>0) for the Wolfram object that will be created
 - the default initial-state: 1 or 0.

RETURN VALUE

 the name of the function (symbol), just as with defun.

SYNOPSIS

(defmacro defwolfram (fun rules &optional (w 100) (is 0))

wolfram/generate [ Methods ]

[ Top ] [ wolfram ] [ Methods ]

DATE

 June 6th 2017, Edinburgh

DESCRIPTION

 Generate the cellular automata rows using the given rules. N.B. Each time
 this method is called, the results (data slot) of the previous calls are
 deleted. 

ARGUMENTS

 - the wolfram object
 - the number of generations (rows) to generate

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

 <start> is the value of the middle cell of the first row (or just to the
 left of middle, if width is an even number). All cells to the left and
 right of it will be in <initial-state>. This should be 0 or 1 only.

RETURN VALUE

 The data slot, which will be the rows in the form of a list of
 named-objects containing the ID (starting from 1) and the list of cell
 values.

SYNOPSIS

(defmethod generate ((w wolfram) generations &optional (start 1))

wolfram/make-wolfram-r110 [ Functions ]

[ Top ] [ wolfram ] [ Functions ]

DATE

 June 7th 2017, Edinburgh. 

DESCRIPTION

 #b01101110 = 110
 This is the one Wolfram suggests might be Turing complete. This was proved
 in 2000. "Rule 110, like the Game of Life, exhibits what Wolfram calls
 "Class 4 behavior", which is neither completely stable nor completely
 chaotic. Localized structures appear and interact in various
 complicated-looking ways" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110)

ARGUMENTS

 none required

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

 - the width of a row. Default = 100.
 - the initial state of the object. Default = 0.

RETURN VALUE

 the function name as a symbol but when called a wolfram object with the
 given rules. 

EXAMPLE

so this one only goes up to column 7 when called with width of 12:
      .     
     ..     
    ...     
   .. .

...   .     
. .  ..     
... ...

then the last 2 lines repeat

but called with width of 60:
                              .

wolfram/print-matrix [ Methods ]

[ Top ] [ wolfram ] [ Methods ]

DATE

 June 6th 2017, Edinburgh

DESCRIPTION

 Print the state of the cells to the terminal. On and off could
 theoretically be any object but of course single characters are
 clearest. See the defwolfram definitions below for examples.

ARGUMENTS

 - the wolfram object

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

 keyword arguments:
 - :stream. The stream to print to. Default t which means it prints to the
   terminal. 
 - :on. what to print when a cell has the value 1. Default: the . character
 - :off. what to print when a cell has the value 0. Default: space
 - :row-number: whether to print row numbers. Default t.

RETURN VALUE

 T

SYNOPSIS

(defmethod print-matrix ((w wolfram) &key (stream t) (on #\.) (off #\ )
                                       (row-number nil))

wolfram/try-all [ Functions ]

[ Top ] [ wolfram ] [ Functions ]

DATE

 June 10th 2017, Edinburgh

DESCRIPTION

 Try all of the Wolfram rules defined via defwolfram. An instance of each
 rule set defined will be created, the rows will be generated, and
 print-matrix will be called. This allows you to see and compare the results
 of each rule set using the same parameters.

ARGUMENTS

 none required

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

 keyword arguments:
 :width. The width slot (number of columns) for the Wolfram objects. Any
 positive ingeger. Default = 100.
 :initial-state. The initial-state (i.e. default) slot for the Wolfram
 objects. 0 or 1. Default = 0.
 :start. The value of the middle cell of the first row. See generate method
 for more details. 0 or 1. Default = 1.
 :generations. The number of rows to generate. Any positive integer. Default
 = 30.
 :stream, :on, :off, :row-number: see print-matrix method.

RETURN VALUE

 T

SYNOPSIS

(defun try-all (&key (width 100) (initial-state 0) (start 1) (generations 30)
                  (stream t) (on #\.) (off #\ ) (row-number nil))
