Rocker writes that “extraction of algorithmic process is an act of high level abstraction”, an act producing visual complexity (2d or 3d diagrams). The unpredictable and the unknown generated through such algorithmic process over-ride experience and perception, two very distinct categories. In the sense cellular automata is a visual form of simple messages and language abstracted into complex behavior and patterns; that is within the medium only.
I suppose a difference between Wolfram and Deleuze would be the method through which spatial complexity can be identified. Wolfram for instance uses procedural sequence, beginning with a few simple rule sets and so the procedural motion is more like a thrust forward or towards the expansion of visual complexity; Deleuze on the other hand seems to draw a line between the two distinct spaces and jump back and forth to form inherent relation between them. Both operate in a dynamic environment.
