26.4 Rule details (space-time patterns only).

(for single rule networks only)

On pausing the space-time pattern, a top right window shows rule details as follows: the rule as a bit pattern (for all k), 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 rule's 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 for a k=5 rule is shown below:

1828671743 6c ff 50 ff

k5-rule ld=0.688 ld-r=0.625 zl=0.344 zr=0.531 Z=0.53125

C=1/3 3 Size=10

key to data

1828671743 the rule number in decimal (for k<=5 only)

6c ff 50 ff the rule number in hex

k5-rule the neighbourhood size k.

ld the parameter.

ld-r the ratio.

zl Zleft.

zr Z right

Z the Z parameter.

C=x/3 the proportion of canalyzing inputs.

*3*** 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 3.

Size network size n.
