Detailed Description

Bit-packed dense storage for boolean cellular automata.

Provides Aleph::CA::Bit_Cell_Storage<N> — a 1 bit/cell row-major container backed by Aleph::BitArray. Useful for binary CAs (Game of Life, Wolfram 1D, Brian's Brain etc.) where memory and cache footprint matter.

The class mirrors the read/write surface of Dense_Cell_Storage<bool, N> so that lattices and engines can be parametrised on either backend transparently. The only API difference is the absence of a raw data() pointer: bit packing precludes a contiguous bool* view.
