ofc the core code (memory management, CPU Usage etc.) is written in a common programming language but all higher level functions are handled by built in rule based programs which work with abstract expressions, which is nothing less than non-visual CA. It's not magic and has been done before, one just doesn't see fancy gliders or fractals.
>A foundational idea in the Wolfram Language is that all expressions—whatever they may represent—ultimately have a uniform tree-like structure.
If you still think I'm wrong enlighten me please.

CA Model for measuring oil percolation as a function of soil porousness
The Schelling model is one of the most famous CA models.Schelling developed it during the 1970's as a way to model racial segregation in the US.
Each cell is set to want to live around a certain percentage of cells with the same color as its own. If there are too many of the other kind of cell around, they move somewhere else, affecting the proportion of the neighborhood it just left as well as the one it moves to.
The emergent property of the model is that the total level of segregation is much higher than the preferences of the cells would denote : for example, in most simulations, if each cell prefers that at least 30% of its neighbors are the same color, the average cell actually ends up having 75% of its neighbors of the same color.
