Classic Boolean Automata

These are illustrations of the behavior of the 256 Boolean automata using neighborhoods of size 3. An arrangement of 192 cells with periodic boundary conditions are used. The rule numbers use the output of the automaton upon (0 0 0) as the first digit (hence highest). Others use rule number with digits in the opposite order. These appear in paranethses.
