Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction (ASCII)

A cellular automaton model of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky oscillating chemical reaction.
This reaction produces striking, self-organizing spiral waves out of a homogeneous mixture. It mathematically models how three simulated chemicals (A, B, and C) react and diffuse over time. Instead of settling into a flat equilibrium, they constantly cycle, creating one of nature's most beautiful chemical clocks.
