Exploring the historical origins of Cellular Automata, as well as the early pioneers in its’ development is important when understanding where CA fit in today’s society. In this paper, I lay out and explain the ways in which CA can be classified. I explore how Lenia hand what we should be concerned about regarding the societal implications. This research is incredibly important when trying to maintain a balance between developing CA, and the potential for misuse in high-risk environments such as in fire management. I conclude we need education and law in order to prevent this technology from being misused, and I propose a policy which could be used in this scenario.
