Random / Order – Growth

I recently purchased a book which turned out to be one of the most amazing books I have ever come across: “A New Kind of Science” by Stephen Wolfram. The entire book is available online for viewing at: http://www.wolframscience.com/nksonline/toc.html

I have been reading a chapter on randomness, which is why I have been writing scripts that heavily depends on random number generator. These are the results of a growth algorithm that explores a territory that is somewhere in between being random and ordered.

    I like the patterns, but can you describe the algorithm used to grow them in a little more detail?

    what a coincidence! i’m also starting with this book “a new kind of science”.

    I’ll try to post more detail about the algorithm in the near future along with the actual code :)
