Until I read Rudy Rucker's "Lifebox, Seashell and The Soul" many years later, which derives a lot from Wolfram, and I got mightily obsessed with the idea of Universal Automatism, the theory of a fully deterministic universe that can be modelled mathematically (blogged about at length here: <a href="http://zenbullets.com/blog/?cat=15" rel="nofollow">http://zenbullets.com/blog/?cat=15</a>).<br><br>I also did my own bit of CA based art: <a href="http://www.zenbullets.com/generative/CLife.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.zenbullets.com/generative/CLife.php</a> , which is a bit more of a scribble compared to the complexity of your piece.
