Finished studying the theory. Now it kind of makes more sense, thanks. So, they created a translator to give you the initial state that would end up calculating what you need? Cool, but how can they create a universal calculator if there can't be any interaction with the system? This is the part that seems less obvious to me. It is said to be a zero player game, right? You set it up and you see it play itself till it dies, you die, or it grows stale or you grow bored. You do not interact with it so how would you make it calculate what you need?
