This section presents a survey of behaviour of a CMC with N=12. The survey
is by no means exhaustive, but some illustrative results are given. In all
cases, the `input' of the CMC is taken as
( i.e. the state of cell 1 as
a function of time) and the `output' as
.
In practice, the output
is almost always an amplitude modulated
period-2 waveform in the range of parameters we consider. A typical example
is given in figure 2.
If instead
is monitored, the envelope of this
modulation is seen, and this is what is plotted in all the figures below.

amplitude modulation effect. The same waveform sampled every other timestep
is shown superimposed.
