Abstract
Elementary cellular automata provide one of the simplest ways to generally describe the phenomena of pattern formation. However, they are considered too simple to be able to describe in detail the more complex phenomena occurring in real experimental systems. In this article, we demonstrate the an application of these methods to optical systems, providing an understanding of the mechanisms behind the formation of periodic patterns in nanoparticle-doped liquid crystals. Our extremely simplified model also explains the observed linear relationship between periodicity and system size.
