InformationSpace is a causal set exploration tool. A causal set is basically a set of simple rules that define the relationship between bits in a space time. A common example of this is John Conway's game of life. I use the term InformationSpace to encompass space, time, causal rules, and initial conditions together as one. An information space is the structure of bits in a static space time, as defined by the causal set rules and initial conditions.

In this image we see a 3D space time visualization of a classic r_pentomino using John Conway's Game of Life causal rules. Y is up towards the sky and is the time dimension. This visualization is done using Open Croquet

Click the image to see a 1D visualization using some of the simple rules found in Stephan Wolfram's New Kind of Science.

This causal set is defined as:
Causal Rules: Game of Life
Initial Conditions: R Pentomino
Space time: Three dimensional (2 dimensions of space, one of time).

InformationSpace allows you to set some initial conditions, attach a set of causal rules, and render a space time into a log file, which you can then view with the visualizer. Currently only 2 space dimensions are supported, 3D space will be supported in a future release.
