Calculus plus Conway's Game of Life = infinitesimal approximation of actual life while never reaching its full complexity! But the artifice is cool, its similar

Calculus plus Conway's Game of Life = infinitesimal approximation of actual life while never reaching its full complexity! But the artifice is cool, its similar in many ways to Gaudi's work, except that Gaudi probably understood, in some way, that what he was doing was artificial, which is what makes it both so fascinating and disturbing at the same time: it plays with, and then expands life. We view this as a subjugation of life to architecture--now, of course, computer architecture. What if the infinite overwhelmed the finite instead? Then we could have a power unparalleled in history. But it would not be an infinity from the perspective of the finite; symbolized, but not represented. We could say, beyond infinity, like Buzz Lightyear!
