Spicy warning: Will someone create Rule 30 art of Manifold? 🍆🥵

YES

No, not Rule 34, get your mind out of the gutter. I am asking if someone will make art based on both Manifold and Wolfram's Rule 30, a rule that defines evolution for cellular automata and can lead to chaos.

This will resolve YES if someone posts a piece of artwork in the comments that relates to both Manifold (the website, not the mathematical concept) and Wolfram's Rule 30. If it isn't obvious how it relates, there should also be an explanation of the relationship. Also, the explanation has to be reasonable enough that after hearing it, I understand how the artwork is based on Manifold and Rule 30.

To maybe give you some ideas, here are some pictures I made with Rule 30:

The colors are arbitrary of course (those are just the Python default).

So, I went to WolframAlpha, and had it compute CellularAutomaton[30,{x},50] , where 30 is the rule, x = the seven-bit array for each of the ASCII characters "M", "a", "n", "i", "f", "o", "l", and "d"., and 50 is the number of generations. Each image of fifty generations of the seven-cell-wide Rule 30 generated was then pasted into a blank image in order, and then I colored then distinctly (the product of "M" in red, "a" in orange, "n" in yellow, etc.)

Tada, Rule 30 art of Manifold.

@StevenEhrbar Alright, I was able to replicate this using my Python code. I was confused at first that I didn't get the same results, but then I realized that Wolfram Alpha was assuming that whatever pattern you put in repeats infinitely, whereas my code just assumes there are 0's on either side of it. So when I modified it to recreate this, it was successful.

colours and pattern reminds me of Cell from DBZ
