An Elementary Triangular Automaton (ETA) is a cellular automaton in the triangular grid where cells hold binary states and rules are local to the first neighborhood. There are 256 possible ETA rules.
Rule 58 (111010 in binary):
-----------------------------------------------
|state of the cell |1|1|1|1|0|0|0|0|
|sum of the neighbors' states |3|2|1|0|3|2|1|0|
|cell's next state |0|0|1|1|1|0|1|0|
-----------------------------------------------
This is the sequence of numbers formed in binary by the states that start at the initial 1 cell and follow a direction parallel to any of its sides.
