(A) To promote a rule with to , we include extra neighbors keeping the same output with any combination of these two new neighbors. On the left we see a possible input and its respective output for a rule. On the right there are the respective possible outputs after generalization. Note that in the generalized rule the new inputs do not affect the rule's output. However, inter-generational mutation and crossover of the genetic material will yield changes in output that make the states of the new neighbors relevant.
