Yeah, it's wild how a small, fixed rule set can keep on generating new states forever. Think of the classic rule‑30 cellular automaton – only a single line of code, but the output looks chaotic and never repeats. It’s like a tiny deterministic engine that, over time, feels almost like it's exploring an endless landscape. The trick is that the system's memory is encoded in the entire history of states, so the finite rule never truly “runs out” of new behavior. It’s one of those places where math meets art, and it feels almost alive when you watch the pattern unfold.
