Langton's Ant is a two-dimensional Turing machine that serves as a simple mathematical model of a self-organizing system. It was conceived by Chris Langton in the 1980s and is known for its interesting emergence of complex behavior from simple rules. The ant operates on a grid of cells, each of which can be in one of two states (black or white).
