One dimension

Although CAM boards are primarily designed for two-dimensional automata, one-dimensional rules are easily established; it is only required that all but the one dimensional neighbors be ignored. Discarding vertical neighbors makes each row of the display a one-dimensional automaton; if columns were preferred, the horizontal neighbors should have been discarded.
