A repeating sequence of simple rules creates a universal computer
Riz Fernando Noronha
We show that the Turing complete rule 110 in elementary cellular automata can be emulated by alternating three simple symmetric rules in space. As the constituent rules themselves…
A loser in both environments can survive by switching between them
Riz Fernando Noronha, Kunihiko Kaneko
How can a species persist in an environment where it is always outcompeted? Using a minimal predator-prey model with environment-dependent parameters, we show that a predator drive…
Delayed control driven oscillations in plant roots
Riz Fernando Noronha, Kunihiko Kaneko, Koichi Fujimoto
Arabidopsis roots show oscillatory growth patterns on homogeneous agar surfaces, whereas other plants, such as maize, do not. Although several explanations have been proposed, a si…
A Self-Organized Tower of Babel: Diversification through Competition
Riz Fernando Noronha, Kunihiko Kaneko
We introduce a minimal evolutionary model to show how local cooperation and global competition can create a transition to the diversity of communities such as linguistic groups. By…
Modelling Soil as a Living System: Feedback between Microbial Activity and Spatial Structure
Riz Fernando Noronha, Kim Sneppen, Kunihiko Kaneko
Soil is a complex, dynamic material, with physical properties that depend on its biological content. We propose a cellular automaton model for self-organizing soil structure, where…
