W. | This seems related to the literature on "pulse-coupled oscillators," which is inspired partly by models of synchronized firefly flashing or cricket chirping. It may not treat your exact rule, but if you haven't looked into this already, see for instance: eecs.harvard.edu/~degesys/pulse.html | |

| Apr 14, 2011 at 17:55 | comment | added | Aubrey da Cunha | I don't know if this has been looked at before either, but it seems to me that it's won't lead to particularly interesting dynamics. Once two neighboring cells have the same shade, they will never change again. Anything adjacent to such a cell can only move counterclockwise as far as the frozen shade and as long as you have only finitely many different shades to begin with, after finitely many steps, that cell will freeze as well. So either everything eventually freezes, or nothing freezes ever. | |

| Apr 14, 2011 at 4:43 | comment | added | David Feldman | @Ricky Right, have done, but actually the psychological effect is similar as the map from hues to qualia seems to break the symmetry. | |
| Apr 14, 2011 at 4:39 | comment | added | user5810 | I have no idea if that has been done before, but you could use hue instead of gray-scale to avoid the discontinuity. | |
