searching for Life

so each square in the grid is a cellular automata with it's own rules? The rules for each square don't carry over to the next round, right?

That’s right! Each has a random rule, of the same type as Conway’s Life- birth/death depends only on count of neighbours. I filter to rules that pass a few simple checks for interestingness

How fun! It looks like something that would idly play on some technical person's screen in a movie.

What defines success?

Deep question

idea: celluar automata, but the rules are defined by a neural network getting fed the seed and the current board status

Fun.

Did you find it?

try hex grids👀

Life art

how would you know it if you found it?

How big is each grid? And how many steps are there? And do you just do this in 2d or also higher dimensions? If you dont already know about it check Lenia

Carykh did a video about conway's multiverse recently, fascinating stuff

It’s better when you network the ABMs 😉

some kind of multiverse of life eh?

WHILE BEING ALIVE lol ✨

137 and 139 oscillation and ration are the bridge with hydrogenase.

;)

have u messed with asynchronous conway life and others?

Conway searching 🤭

so the rules and the initial conditions (pixels) are random ?

My guess is that if you ever see a square that develops a Mandelbrot pattern, that's life.
