/*
Random boolean network in PHP (7.4+).
Inspired by the Computerphile Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCML2B94rUg
The use of random_int combined with modulo leads to better randomness entropy.
Formally correct as the relations with other cells are bitshifted in the right order.
Not that it matters, as it's randomly chosen, but done anyway for the sake of repeatability.
