Do you think that Conway's Game of Life and this new app, speak to
the notion that we ourselves might be living within a cellular

Conway's game of life is (Turing) Universal, so it can emulate
anything Turing emulable. It is one of the many equivalent to
arithmetic or quantum topology, with respect to the class of
computable functions (from N to N).
I prefer not to start from it, as it is less known than numbers, but
also because it borrows already some quasi-physical intuition, like
the digital two dimensional plane, which I think has itself a deeper
origin.
But to model diffusion process, and many things, cellular automata are
quite nice. Yet, for the fundamental inquiry, once we assume comp, we
cannot favor one UM on any other at the start. If some special UM
plays a special role, this has to be justified from the infinite
competition between all UMs below our substitution level.

From another list: Conway's life not only lives - now it can evolve.

Dave Green has put together a replicator for Conway Life.
He has several versions. The smallest, fastest, has a
bounding box of 3.7M^2, and takes 89M ticks to make a copy.
If I'm reading his description correctly, the population of ON
cells is 150K, most of which is information-carrying gliders.

----- Forwarded message
The phase-shifted linear replicator is finally done -- several
versions, actually, all using the same single-arm universal
constructor and the same basic recipe. See
http://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1006&p=9908#p9901
The smallest pattern file is only 27K compressed, but the uncompressed
macrocell file is almost 100K so I won't try quoting it here. There
are links in the forum posting.
Keep the cheer,
Dave Greene
