Right, obviously as scale goes up, much more complexity is needed to maintain the same level of behavior. A bit like how unicellular organisms can replicate simply, but humans need to go through a whole process to make an offspring. This Game of Life video shows what I mean perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP5-iIeKXE8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP5-iIeKXE8 Yes, there's a ton of complexity in there, but when you zoom out enough, it looks and acts very similar to the lower level.

Very nice, but of course this was designed/engineered to act like this. It's basically a computer implemented in the game of life, which runs the game of life.
