Thus, in the two-dimensional system with a Moore neighborhood, the total number of automata possible would be 2 2 9, or 1.34 × 10 154. It is usually assumed that every cell in the universe starts in the same state, except for a finite number of cells in other states; the assignment of state values is called a configuration. [7]
