\noindent \emph{Artwork by Mohammad A. Javaheri Javid (Goldsmiths, University of London)\\}

\noindent The cover artwork is generated in cellular automata environment having two states (black and yellow) with an eight cell mapping of transition function between states in outer totalistic rules set.The cellular automata are known for their generative capabilities in creating very complex patterns in their global level, sometimes with high aesthetic qualities from simple rules at a local level.The generated pattern has emerged from a single cell as initial configuration and it closely resembles fractal patterns, however the rule generating this pattern is very simple compared to rules generating fractals.}\\
