How do they organize themselves?? Does it start out a blank grid, you add a couple "cells" and they communicate. Cause thats what i thought. Then i seen the one that said "golly" with a four leaf clover and thought that was a little weird. Like maybe they programmed a starting point. You understand my question?? And i actually learned about this from a guy who works alot with DMT and he has a theory about how the multidimenaional worlds communicate. You should check it out.

Conway designed the rules around eight neighboring cells per cell, being in 3D you might want to tweak the rules in the interest of making patterns last, but not grow infinitely without negative reinforcement. If every cell has 26 possible neighbors then 4 or more isnt whole lot to be sufficient for selfmurder.

Not really. You need processing on every cell to do it. Essentially every cell on the entire plane has to be a simple CPU, each one acting independently, and has to change its answer of its output potentially an infinite number of times i.e. each cell in worst case has to do an infinite amount of processing. As opposed to a fractal for instance, which is a lot simpler in how the images arise by the very nature of how it is produced.

[@TiagoGilvan]

[@MaxLohMusic]

This got me thinking, what if a supercomputer simulates this long enough (perhaps with a very clever/powerful genetic algorithm or neural network algorithm at play as well), that extremely complex intelligent organisms develop, start to gain curiosity, question their existence, and conduct scientific experiments? Those pixel-creatures would eventually discover the nature of the world they live in, including the four laws as illustrated in the beginning of the video. But they would never be able to figure out what causes their world to exist -- there is no way for them to know about the transistors in the supercomputer which is running them, let alone the humans who built the supercomputer. In that same way, we might one day discover the deepest secrets of the universe, and the grand unified "theory of everything". But if we are in a simulation, or part of a program within a parent universe, there is no way for us to ever understand or detect those things which birthed our universe.

[@yacabo111]

+Max Loh That's a good theory, but the thing is that our universe and that "universe" work by different laws of physics. In ours, from the beginning we have been in a desperate search for energy causing those of us who were better at finding it to survive and create more of our selves, in that universe all you need is to be stable enough to live on.

[@alialawieh6975]

+Max Loh I know what you are talking about, I have watched and read a lot about the subject and yes it is very likely to happen. Except these "cells" can never learn anything.I know because I studied a bit artificial intelligence (I'm a software engineer) and these "cells" don't work anything like that. Each cell only has 2 states: dead and alive. An AI has something we call a neuron, more than one to be precise.And it's the interaction of those neurons together that makes it intelligent. And the learning process happens by changing the way those neurons interact.It's a bit complicated, but it's something about the weight (importance) of the output of each neuron that changes after each generation. And again I say , these cells have nothing of the sort , they live then die without learning anything :p

[@MaxLohMusic]

Vlat Kozelka that is why i inserted the qualifier "perhaps with a very clever/powerful genetic algorithm or neural network algorithm at play as well". Also, just consider what our brains are made of. Dumb cells that are made of dumb atoms that do nothing but react with predictable laws of physics to the physical environment around them. Like the "cells" you described, the carbon atoms in our neurons are dead and can never "learn" anything. Yet, somehow in tandem the right combination of these dumb cells produces extremely aware neural networks. Also, just because neural networks are the only *known* way to produce intelligence doesn't mean they are the only way. Maybe one day a superintelligence figures out how to do it better.

[@Seluxify]

+Vlat Kozelka If you had read "Allot" about the subject then you would have read that Game of life is actually turing complete. So, large cells can basically learn anything any other computer can learn. However, I see no reason it would be easier to make self aware AI with this than with any other computer.

It is what real magic is, Something utilized by one who has little knowledge of its underlying workings.

To break a rule is to have a defined input with an independent result... nothing to determine the result and therefore chaos and lack of order, rendering the universe in a complete loss in information and meaning.Let's take a look at... idk, the world of harry potter. Every act of magic you see has a defined input and a dependent output. If something does not go as expected, it is because of an unknown or unconsidered factor in the equation.

Zenthex I think that the analogy is more fitting with formal languages. So the rules are the inference rules and the initial alive cells in the grid are the axioms.

[@Zenthex]

Emanuele Ascani you're more right than i am, i was just talking about the program as a whole, and over simplifying it.

[@TimJSwan]

Actually, the rules and the cells are both axioms. Everything is constructed from axioms, but to construct in the first place there must be a definition for construction which are the inference rules. They are abstract axioms which arbitrarily define construction instances.

[@busTedOaS]

+Tim-J.Swan No. Construction is done by applying logic to axioms. "Inference" is the act of creating new sentences from axioms and already exists before any axioms.

The earth will become a giant mass of the machines. Because they're microscopic and serve no purpose but to copy themselves, they will be amorphous and colorless. Hence grey goo.
