Hello, I just met Jean-Paul Delahaye in Montreal and at the conference he gave, showed to us a cellular automata that produces the primes one after the other. I will try to find a pointer to this thing, which was quite interesting to watch, it ran on a mac and I think this comes from an old program that I used to have where you could copy and paste a bitmap image and run it as if it was a cellular automaton. Except that in this case , it produces the primes. Simon Plouffe ps : i will contact him to try to locate the program.
