I would recommend reading Andrew Ilachinski's, "Cellular Automata, A Discrete Universe" as mentioned in my original submission post above:

https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/4702#t...

It's an amazing book even if it is a couple of decades old now.

Stephen Wolfram's, "A New Kind of Science" is also good. He has been studying and writing about CAs since the 80s.

CAs are used for many things. I am just starting to look at Ilachinski's work on combat simulation.

There was a paper comparing PDEs to CAs a while ago. I'll look up the link.
