- By pure chance a copy of the June, 1974 issue of Scientific American is
- sitting here beside the machine; the cover picture is entitled 'Rotating
- Chemical Reactions,' illustrating Arthur T. Winfree's article on pages
- 82-95. Among other things he discusses the forms that the famous spirals
- might take in three dimensions.

- Picturing any kind of 3-d automata on PC-level equipment is something of
- a challenge, but there must be some interesting rewards for those who manage
- to do so; this is evidently one of them.
