Additive Cellular Automata

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
For every -element commutative monoid and every range size
, there is an additive
-color cellular automaton in which the color of a cell is simply the sum (in the monoid operation) of the colors of
cells on the previous step. These automata always exhibit global nested structure when begun from a single cell.
