    This study introduces a novel cellular automaton (CA) where cells process data and signals, not just states. This innovation enables the creation of complex growing structures like self-replicating loops and biomorphs.

    Area of Science:

    • Computational Biology
    • Artificial Life
    • Digital Systems

    Background:

    • Traditional cellular automata (CA) use rule tables for state transitions based on neighbor states.
    • Cells in conventional CAs are limited to processing state information.
    • This restricts their ability to model complex dynamic behaviors.

    Discussion:

    • Presents a novel CA design where cells handle both data and signals.
    • Each cell is a digital system with integrated processing and control units.
    • This architecture supports advanced functionalities beyond simple state updates.

    Key Insights:

    • Enables the realization of dynamic, growing structures.
    • Facilitates the creation of self-replicating loops and biomorphs.
