%CALCULATEFITNESS
% this function calculates performance fitness of given rule - returns a 
% scalar calculated as successfulRuns/TotalRuns. Takes a 128 bits vector
% representing a CA rule for a neighborhood of radius 3.
% Note: A lot of (if not all) the costants declared here could be passed down as
% parameters - but since this is going to be used as the fitness function
% in a Genetic Algorithm very specific to the problem at hand to be called
% from the matlab Genetic Algorithm toolkit, it is more practical to pass 
% down as input param only the transformation rule.
