Given the nature of the complexity of some of the 'devices' generated in the GoL for some rules, doesn't the fact that in this study, the generation space was set constant at 100x100 cells potentially mean that the results could be strongly tied that that arbitrary choice- and that re-running the simulations with a significantly larger board size could result in markedly different complexity categorizations? That was my thought on first read through at least. Would be interesting to do the same thing at multiple scales, to see if the results hold. There's a whole other study there then in determining the potential complexity class dependence on observed board size.
