It is difficult to program cellular automata. This is especially true when the desired computation requires global communication and global integration of information across great distances in the cellular space. Various human-written algorithms have appeared in the past two decades for the vexatious majority classification task for one-dimensional two-state cellular automata. This paper descri...
