As with all dynamical systems, it is important and interesting to understand their long term or evolutionary behavior.
Hence it makes sense to develop a classification of a system based on its dynamical behavior. The concept of classifying cellular
automata was initiated by Stephen Wolfram in the early 1980’s, see [25,26]. Through numerous computer simulations,
Wolfram noticed that if an initial configuration (sequence) was chosen at random the probability is high that a cellular
automaton rule will fall within one of four classes.
