• Coffee with a Provost Almy Hall Lobby
7:00-8:00pm
Each cell interacts only with cells in
its immediate neighborhood, yet
when studied, surprisingly beautiful
patters of complex behavior often
emerge.
Among many other uses, CAs can
be employed by ecologists to model
the behavior of forest fires, by engi
neers to study the flow of air around
wings, by meteorologists to simulate
the development of weather patterns,
and by hobbyists just for the tun of
it. McCarty has collected a gallery of
awesome automata, which he will
present in his talk, exploring issues
such as the meaning of life, the search
for the gardens of Eden, and the con
sequences of viruses and mutation.
The audience will watch brain scans,
study blueprints, and enjoy trellises
and rose gardens McCarty will -.hare
with the audience the Worldwide Web
sites that permit downloading of CAs.
Open House Nights in Astronomy/
Science, which take place in the
Ottoßehrend Science Lecture Hall,
are free and open to the public. For

State Erie School of Science at 898-
