Ah, that clarifies some things with me.  I am doing some things with
cellular automata, such as diffusion-limited aggregation simulating
crystal formation, dust clustering, plant growth, etc.  I had often
heard that automata was used for image analysis/processing/enhancement/
whatever.  I had not really realized how this would be done, but what
was just said about 9xthe cell - each of its surrounding neighbors is
perfect for automata encoding.  Maybe I'll run something like that on the
machine I've been using (a Cellular Automata Machine from MIT's lab,
it updates a 256x256 grid 60 times/sec, with each cell having 4 bits).
