Abstract
This study demonstrates an alternative ECA rules classification using information-theoretic measures with 88 minimal representatives of ECA rules. It proposes using entropy-time diagrams (variation in BiEntropy values with time) to compare ECAs behavior, where two configurations may correspond to the same approximate information content despite their visual differences in the space-time diagrams. The genotype of an ECA rule, which is perceived as the amount of information processed, is captured through four proposed measures, i.e., DiffEntropy (DE), SimConfigOrdered (SCO), SimConfigImmediate (SCI), and SimConfigFluctuation (SCF). By clustering the temporal sequences of entropy values of different rules using dynamic time warping (DTW), a Genealogy Interceded Phenotypic Analysis (GIPA) of 88 ECA rules is proposed. This study is restricted to synchronous ECA with periodic boundary conditions.
