This page contains a 1D CA representation
of the stock market. The randomness found in the stock
market can be duplicated from a 1D CA. As one can see,
the similarity of the stock market and the panel on
the right shows the correlation between the two. We're
not saying that you can predict the stock market with
CAs. As a matter of fact, one of the basic prinicples
of CAs is that you cannot predict it and that you have
to let it run indefinitely. It's just interesting the
note how one can create the same randomness found in
the stock market with CAs.
The panel on the left is a regular
1D CA. Rule 90 as a matter of fact. The panel on the
right is created by subtracting the total number of
black cells with the total number of white cells.
