ZUSE Automat Agent: Empirical Law Discovery in Elementary Cellular Automata
Version v1.10 integrates Fases 35–39 of the T=15 oscillator mechanism. Fases 35–38 replace visual shape families with explicit macro-transition tables and effective orbit embeddings. The induced F^3 transition table is a sufficient discriminator and refines the 13 visual families. Family F00 is explained by convergence to a shared effective period-3 background orbit, while canonical orbit identity alone is too coarse globally. The first sufficient post-burn-in descriptor is: (rule, sample_orbit_step, sample_rotation_offset, defect_state0) Fase 39 tests whether defect_state0 can be predicted compactly before burn-in. The result is negative under the tested descriptors: all 20 representatives enter the stable five-cycle by t=12, and 15/20 enter at t=3, but exact pre-burn-in predictors mostly collapse to singleton case identifiers or post-hoc measurements. This closes the post-burn-in descriptive mechanism and sharply delimits the remaining symbolic problem: predicting defect_state0 from the raw background/IC pair without effectively replaying the early transient. All results are reproducible from deterministic scripts. Repository:https://github.com/conchaestradamiguelangel-droid/zuse-automat-agent
