Treffer: A MODEL OF CELLULAR AUTOMATON WITH ANTICIPATION.

In this paper, we consider the mechanisms for endowing the cellular automata (CA) models with the anticipation property. On the experimental side, we apply a widely known Conway's game 'Life'. The research results show that even within this simple model, the introduction of anticipation has a crucial impact on the behavior of the system, resulting in emergence of multiple co-existing solutions. Furthermore, the inherent behavioral templates of classical 'Life' (fixed point, cycle, chaos) are valid for its anticipatory version; however, they develop at a level of configurations' sets. Finally, we make the extensive computational simulations and present the most significant research results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
