Capturing the Aesthetic: Radial Mappings for Cellular Automata Music
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce and demonstrate a new mapping for generating music from the 2D Cellular Automata “Game of Life” (GL). The core of this mapping is based on a polar co-ordinate system with origin at the GL grid centre. Such a polar approach is designed to better capture the radial symmetry inherent in the rule set for GL. The radial symmetry of the GL rule set is key to the visual experience of observing the GL, and therefore we have argued that polar coordinate system captures this key aesthetic element of much of GL more precisely.

Evaluating Mappings for Cellular Automata Music
We discuss the importance of choosing the right mapping for music composition generated from underlying ALife and emergent algorithms. Emergent algorithms are popular with composers both because their visual beauty inspires the composer, and because they can generate complexity from simple algorithm rules. Simple mappings to MIDI are preferred as they give a composer more control and predictabi...
متن کاملEdge Detection Based On Nearest Neighbor Linear Cellular Automata Rules and Fuzzy Rule Based System
Edge Detection is an important task for sharpening the boundary of images to detect the region of interest. This paper applies a linear cellular automata rules and a Mamdani Fuzzy inference model for edge detection in both monochromatic and the RGB images. In the uniform cellular automata a transition matrix has been developed for edge detection. The Results have been compared to the ...

متن کاملAn Informational Model for Cellular Automata Aesthetic Measure
This paper addresses aesthetic problem in cellular automata, taking a quantitative approach for aesthetic evaluation. Although the Shannon’s entropy is dominant in computational methods of aesthetics, it fails to discriminate accurately structurally different patterns in two-dimensions. We have adapted an informational measure to overcome the shortcomings of entropic measure by using informatio...
