COMMENTS

If cell and right-hand neighbor are both 0 then new state of cell = state of left-hand neighbor; otherwise new state is complement of that of left-hand neighbor.

A simple rule which produces apparently random behavior. "... probably the single most surprising discovery I have ever made" - Stephen Wolfram.

Row n has length 2n+1.
