Wolfram talks about mobile automata.. This is where you calculate one cell at a time.

I'm confused as to how you actually train a cellular automaton? How does one do it? Is it just rule search to match a pattern at time t given input state from time t-1 (and repeated?).. it seems like you'd have a bunch of boolean equations and then look for and extract its solutions.
