README
ZUSE Automat Agent Deterministic empirical law discovery for elementary cellular automata (ECA). ZUSE Automat Agent runs cellular-automata worlds, applies a fixed observer stack, evaluates seven binary cycle laws, and stores multi-seed evidence in reproducible journals. The discovery loop is policy-driven and deterministic: no language model participates in world selection, law evaluation, scoring, or acceptance. Preprint Latest: v1.11 - Early causal-cone compression of the T=15 mechanism: 25 cells for 12 steps recover defect_state0 in 20/20, a 69.1x reduction.

Scientific Artifacts
World taxonomy and law coverage matrix: formal classification of 20 worlds, seven-law coverage, and measured fragility where available. Scientific synthesis: consolidated findings across world families, law coverage, fragility mechanisms, and open questions. Physical-tree findings: meta-analysis of physical metrics that predict law richness. Fragility report: basin fragility spectrum and observed mechanisms. Rule 54 noise-gate anatomy: diagnosis of the dedup noise-boundary mechanism. Local oscillator family sweep: exhaustive quiescent ECA sweep; rule_108 is unique under the current local oscillator protocol. Periodicity sweep: designed periodic ICs validate periodicidad across ECA.

Large raw JSONL outputs are not tracked in git when they exceed 1 MB. The corresponding scripts and summary reports are tracked, and the raw files can be regenerated from the commands in the reproducibility guide. Citation Concha Estrada, M. A. (2026).
