Hello,
hope this more or less introduces myself and returns some feedback.
I am a father between art and science. I want to contribute Mathematica
coding skills in general and in particular prototypes for relations
between automaton rules like 110 and the Spencer-Brown form.
Is anyone of you interested in sessions about:
(1) A project from the NKS Summerschool: Composition of Rules (2) (a) Spencer-Brown Form Term for Rule 110 (b) Infinite reentry. (3) Art including a 2^27 bit rule on a three color plane.

Q : is there anything else you would like to tell about yourself? A : my son counts
{ feedback }
Q : are there key topics that should be added, in your opinion? A : a button to upload a resume or other files maybe.
Q : do you have any suggestions regarding the organisation of the meeting?
A : maybe invite participants to bring their children and to provide affordable professional kindergarten service and selfhelp groups for spouses --- maybe some kinder computation too.

Levy : How long do you envision this rule of the universe to be?
Wolfram : I'm guessing it's really very short.
Levy : Like how long?
Wolfram : I don't know. In Mathematica, for example, perhaps three, four lines of code.
