Mannington Commercial Launches the Automata Carpet Collection

Mannington Commercial announces the newest collection to its recently updated Xpress Program, the Automata Collection. Developed using the concept of Cellular Automata (CA), the modular carpet collection captures both the simplicity and evolving complexity of the patterns that make up our world. Automata is ideal for office, educational and other commercial interiors that require a visually appealing carpet solution in a quick-ship modular offering.

Originally developed in the 1940s by mathematicians and scientists, CA programs are computational models typically represented by a grid with values (cells) that use very limited input and rules to create extraordinarily complex patterns that also appear simple. CA applications can be found in man-made elements like computer processors and within nature, such as with seashells, which are generated by natural CA.
