One thing it doesn't mention is Conway's Game of Life itself. So of course, you can implement Game of Life within Game of Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

  Maybe it was not included, because John Conway suspected that it would be Turing complete from the start. Because he suspected this he contacted Martin Gardner and asked the public for searching for an ever growing pattern, resulting in the discovery of the glider gun. He realized that finding something like a glider gun would be the first step in establishing Turing Completeness. It took some time for it to be proven completely, but from the start the intuition of Conway was that Game of Life would probably be Turing Complete.

  This book on the engineering of mechanisms in Life is absolutely insane. https://conwaylife.com/book/ https://conwaylife.com/book/
