Abstract :
Traditionally, CA is a discrete dynamical system. Our study usually focused on the rule-making and initial conditions, without discussing about its different topologies structure of cellular space or its neighborhood. Therefore, our study mainly concerns about the dividing and comparison of cellular space and we extend it to the sphere and construct the spherical hexagon CA´s framework. Specifically, in this work we construct the visualization prototype of hexagonal CA, which may be especially useful for data analysis and simulation at the global scale.
