Theory
TODO: Update this section after studying existing literature a bit more.
Linear-Inequality Affine Transformation Automata (LIATA) were introduced as a generalization of the BMO1 rules:
- @Bard proved that 3 dimension LIATA are Turing complete: [1]
- @star proved that 2 dimension LIATA are Turing complete: [2]
- BMO1 is a 2d-LIATA so this provides some sense for the difficulty of the problem.
Programming
TODO: Add -d's cpp quick_sim project. Discord source: https://discord.com/channels/960643023006490684/1226543091264126976/1426265937455222794
