@irationalwavesurfer He's also the guy behind the Turing test, a test for determining whether a machine can be considered "intelligent" (it can be, according to this test, if it can fool a person into thinking that it is a human being rather than a machine. There's more details to it, but that's the gist of it.)
He was a mathematician, computer scientist, and philosopher. He was the father of the modern computer, one of the main originators of artificial intelligence, and he was arguably the most important person in winning WW2, by deciphering German codes.
use a game of life simulator, any one you like (I just used the one on bitstorm), and draw a 2x2 grid of clockwise swastikas, like the kind the Nazi party used, each one the smallest you could possibly draw, i.e., each one should fit a 5x5 space. leave a cell wide space in between the swastikas for longer results, run the thing and you should get some very lovely patterns before the thing goes periodic :)
@pandstar This simulation is not about the theory of evolution, and if it was, I can tell you that there is one place in the bible, when the bible is angled just correctly, you can see a Swastika.
Okay. THIS is awesome. I've seen the Life simulation before, but it was years ago and I didn't realize how it can apply to the questions of complexity and evolution. In this light, it was far more interesting.
game of life cellular automata have pretty much nothing to do with evolution in the biological sense, as far as I know. they do show how emergent phenomena *like* evolution can happen but really genetic programming is a lot more salient to evolution because the metaphor is a LOT more direct
I keep telling people that all of us as we are the cosmos are vibrational energy that are constantly fluxing patterns subject to change with time. The atom is vibrational energy that flashes in and out of existance in dimensions we cannot percieve, as of yet, but they are all patterns none the less.
i really love cornways game of life, its even a turing-complete universal computer. there is a simple pattern in game of life that will calculate all prime numbers, if you give it enough time. data storage, data circuitry, programming... its possible in the game of life. there are programmable universal turing-machines for game of life, and you can even simulate the game of life in itself. a simulation of the game of life running in the game of life. quite fascinating.

I saw Swastikas form at about 2:40!
Proof that the theory of evolution leads to Nazism!
Ben Stein was right.

The universe is Turing Complete meaning you can implement on it any program that can be written on a digital computer.

The intrinsic advantage in this is the ability to reproduce.
If a structure can make copies of itself then it will eventually take over.
