What's the order of bits when representing automata as 512 bit words? An example implementation would probably help... --Int-e (talk) 03:29, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

The word is a form of flipped Wolfram code. The bit corresponding to 2^x represents the result of applying the rule on state x. The bits in x, starting from the LSB, represent the cell values in this order:

012
345
678

If the order of the bits in x were reversed, the words would correspond to ordinary Wolfram codes. LegionMammal978 (talk) 18:24, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
