A Cellular Automaton for Pied-de-poule (Houndstooth)

Year: 2017 Authors: Loe Feijs; Marina Toeters

Core claim

Using five colors instead of two enables a cellular automaton to sustain and extend puppytooth/houndstooth growth and produce semi-random fashion patterns.

Topics

cellular automata, houndstooth pattern, fashion textiles, semi-random variation

Domains

discrete dynamical systems, one-dimensional cellular automata, tessellations, industrial design, textile design, fashion design, woven garments

Methods

rule extraction in Mathematica, five-state automaton coding, maplet-based transition rules, fabric weaving

Media

woven fabric, garments, Mathematica 10.4, cellular automaton visualization
