Wireworld is a cellular automaton first proposed by Brian Silverman in 1987, as part of his program Phantom Fish Tank. It subsequently became more widely known as a result of an article in the "Computer Recreations" column of Scientific American. Wireworld is particularly suited to simulating transistors, and Wireworld is Turing-complete i.e It can simulate a turning machine.

A Wireworld cell can be in one of four different states :
- empty black
- electron head blue
- electron tail red
- conductor yellow.
As in all cellular automata, time proceeds in discrete steps called generations (sometimes "gens" or "ticks"). Cells behave as follows:
- empty → empty,
- electron head → electron tail,
- electron tail → conductor,
- conductor → electron head if exactly one or two of the neighbouring cells are electron heads, otherwise remains conductor.
