- galaxyLogic 5y agoWhat is special about Game Of Life? Why does it seem to be the most "interesting" cellular automaton?
- ColinWright 5y agoIt's simple, small, clean, and Turing Complete. Most others show "interesting behaviour" (for some definition thereof) but are not Turing Complete (though some are). I've not found a CA that's Turing Complete and as small and easy to understand (which is not to say there isn't one).
- spicybright 5y agoI think it's just inertia. It's the most popular and well researched one at this point. There's definitely tons of other less researched rules that are as interesting.
