13.17 Transforming the rule, and setting canalyzing inputs.

In the case of a singe rule, when the rule has been set, it may be complimented, transformed in a number of ways to an equivalent rule, or canalyzing inputs may be set. The (changed) rule may be saved as a ``*.rul'' file (see filling #28) and is displayed in the rule window.

The following top right prompt is presented.

transform rule: comp-c, neg-n, ref-r canalyzing-C (values shown are examples)

equivalent with greater nhood (4-9), save-s: (``greater nhood'' if k<9)

The rule transformations and changes are as follows::

• 13.17.1 Complimentary transformation.
• 13.17.2 Equivalent rule by the negative transformation.
• 13.17.3 Equivalent rule by the reflection transformation.
• 13.17.4 Equivalent rules with a greater neighbourhood size, k.
• 13.17.5 Setting canalyzing inputs.
• 13.17.6 Saving the transformed rule.
