Represents a Cellular Automata Machine (CAM).

The CAM consists of any number of cell planes that allow for increasingly complex cellular automata.
2015-05-31 03:36:35 +00:00
This is the top-level module that should be used by anyone wanting to work with fifth, and provides
all methods needed (i.e. supported) to interact/configure the cellular automata as desired.
