ISA is an acronym for "Infinite State Automata." Lots of researchers believe that FSA (finite state automata) are a parallel for many complex biological systems, including intelligent systems, which I consider to have infinite possibilities, thus the title. Since this is a topic of scientific interest for me, it will always be incomplete in some way.

What's New:
Currently supports 1, 2, and 3-dimensional FSA, though only 1 and 2-dimensional automata can be properly visualized.
The current automata rule is John Conway's Game of Life.
The map wraps around on the sides, and zooming out will show repetitions.
This has been somewhat performance optimized.
Search functionality is included, and is even optimized for any non-trivial search.
Lots of future developments on the way, many being research-oriented.
