CellularPoetry

For the 9th Prompt of Genuary2026 : Crazy Cellular Automata, CellularPoetry rules are coded in Python. Where poems are made from various cellular rule sets to make the images come to life and give restrictions to the poet.

Poem

Achieving Every Assumption covered in Aerial Areas, Calculating Creative endeavours endlessly

Futuristic Foresight fading away, consistency constantly evaporating, Pleasure Pausing, 
Intermission Awaits

Fulfilling any hypothesis unhidden around airborne dreamscapes, Arriving and Pollinating Plots

Cell & Cellular Output for Poem 1

Cells

Cell & Cellular Output for Poem 2

Seeing, Strolling, Swimming and Actions and Abbreviations may make no sense

Admiring all aspects profoundly with deliberate intentions, isolating and intertwining insights

Blinded, rushing, drowning plus efforts plus thoughts, freeing negating sparsely ignorance


Without Aspirations, Ambition,  Emotions, Interactions, Internalizing, instructions,  
Openness, Observing, Unity, Union

Emitting overdosing amounts of Thoughts with flowing concern, capturing the aspiring influences

With considerations mounting beyond connections, communication, explanations, freeing gazes, 
Relatable Sequences?

Rule Sets

Follows the traditional Neighbourhood model asscoiated with Cellular Automata but with the addition of the second rule, CellularPoetry plays with the concept of what happens if a cell met their doppelganger that occupies the same spot as them.

• 0’s are Vowels and 1’s are Constants

#My Rule ??
'''
000 = 1
001 = 1
010 = 0
011 = 1
100 = 1
101 = 0
110 = 0
111 = 0
'''

#Rule 30
'''
000 = 0
001 = 1
010 = 1
011 = 1
100 = 1
101 = 0
110 = 0
111 = 0

• Rule 2 : For Synonyms , Antonyms & Switches

'''
00 = 1
01 = Synonym of word from 0
10 = Antonym of word from 1
11 = 0
'''
