Wireworld: Brian Silverman's 1987 CA for simulating digital electronics.
Four states: empty / conductor / electron head / electron tail.
The rules are four lines. The emergent behavior: you can build a CPU.
Showing: OR gate, oscillator, signal splitter, crossing wires, electron train.
Wireworld is Turing complete — the circuit geometry IS the program.
