When a rule has been entered, it is displayed in a lower rule window. The window shows the rule as a bit pattern (for k<=6), in decimal (for k<=5), and in hex (for all k), where k=neighbourhood size. In addition the window gives the network size, and details about the rules lambda and Z parameters, and canalyzing inputs. This window is updated as rules are transformed or mutated.
An example of the data in a rule window is shown below:
k3-rule=(dec)186 (hex)ba (values shown are examples)
Size=10 ld=0.825 ld-r=0.75 zl=0.75 zr=0.25 Z=0.75 C=1/3 0
key to data
k3-rule the neighbourhood size k, the rule number in decimal and hex.
Size the network size n.
ld the parameter.
ld-r the ratio.
zl Zleft.
zr Z right
Z the Z parameter.
C=x/3 the proportion of canalyzing inputs.
**0 shows exactly which of the k inputs are canalyzing (if none this is not shown),
in this case there is 1 canalyzing input, at neighbourhood index 0.
