Abstract

It is shown that an infinite prime sequence can be generated in real-time by a cellular automaton having 1-bit inter-cell communications (CA1-bit). The algorithm presented is based on the classical sieve of Eratosthenes, and its implementation will be made on a CA1-bit using 34 internal states and 71 transition rules.
