Editing Network automaton (section)

{{Unreferenced|date=September 2024}}
A '''network automaton''' (plural '''network automata''') is a mathematical system consisting of a [[graph theory|network of nodes]] that evolves over [[time]] according to predetermined rules.  It is similar in concept to a [[cellular automaton]], but much less studied.

[[Stephen Wolfram]]'s book ''[[A New Kind of Science]]'', which is primarily concerned with cellular automata, briefly discusses network automata, and suggests (without positive evidence) that the [[universe]] might at the very lowest level be a network automaton.
