Hey, Thanks for the advice with the fluid dynamics problem. To Paul and Andrzej, I did know that Wolfram meant to bypass the whole problem of solving the differential equations, because that goes against his whole philosophy of ANKOS; however, the issue with systems such as weather, I think, is that to be able and compute any kind of realistic answer would require immensely accurate initial conditions, and the ability to have the correct CA program. I thought it would be easier to just learn how to apply the differential equations. In the end I a professor helped build a model into Mathematica based on a paper from the middle eighties about the growth of galaxies, which can be described as a turbulent fluid; thus I can make the same conjectures about the cellular automata this way. Thanks for the help!! Ross
