NKS Explorer 2022 takes you to the edge of today's known science by introducing you to a "New Kind of Science." NKS is the science of Stephen Wolfram, the British/American scientist who in 1981 asked himself, "How does all the complexity seen in the Universe arise?" Stephen was confounded by the complex appearance of a black & white pixel pattern drawn by a simple computer program he had devised. You can now follow Stephen Wolfram's lead and make patterns that engage your artful sensibilities, as well as give you insights into the nature of the Universe -- the Mother of all pattern generators.
