The cells in Wireworld have exactly one of the following four states:
**Electron head*, in this example encoded as `'@'`
**Electron tail*, encoded as `'~'`
**Wire*, encoded as `'#'`
**Empty*, encoded by any other character than `'@'`, `'~'` or `'#'` (most often a blank character, `' '`).
**Electron head*
**Electron tail*
**Wire*
**Empty*
The state transitions are given by:
**Electron head* always becomes an *Electron tail*
**Electron head* always becomes *Electron tail*
**Electron tail* always becomes *Wire*.
**Wire* becomes *Electron head*, if the number of *Electron heads* in the 8 neighboring cells is 1 or 2, otherwise it stays *Wire*.
* An *Empty* cell is always left unchanged.
