What can Conway's Game of Life teach us about pandeism? It teaches us that sometimes the most intelligent "design" is a simple set of rules applied to a simple initial state, and given billions of years to work!!
Music by Chopin -- was Prelude No. 5., but YouTube hit me with a copyright notice despite the clear public domain status of this music, forcing me to switch to a YouTube approved Chopin piece, with ads on top....
@EmmetEarwax Yes it is!!

The Mandelbrot Set is also similarly generated by application of a simple mathematical rule (I'll need to post something on that too) -- but it tells the same tale!! Though 3d Mandelbrots have been hard to generate, if either the Mandelbrot or Conway's Game of Life (or, to think amazingly, both somehow combined) were doable in three dimensions, we would surely see from similarly simple rules and forms, far greater complexity of outcomes, and even evolution!!

Great post. I was researching on this stuff as well and came across "Langton's ant" as well. Something like the Conway's cellular automata; generating patterns out of random and simple data rules..

Very interesting! those rules were the begining of life.
