John Conway’s Game of Life, a famous cellular automaton, has been found to have periodic patterns of every possible length ... s 1996 technique and lowered the cutoff above which it was easy to ...

The main takeaway from the game is not about life being possible in a 2D universe (although some physicists think that it is) but that complex patterns and behavior can emerge from very simple rules.

A long-standing mystery about repeating patterns in a two-dimensional mathematical ... of the coterie of hobbyists obsessed with the Game of Life. Invented by mathematician John Conway in 1970 ...

In other words, is the Game of Life omniperiodic? Given the proof above, this boils down to the problem of finding oscillating patterns that repeat for every period from 1 to 43. The first few were ...

The Game of Life is the best-known example of a cellular automaton, in which patterns form and evolve on a grid according to a few simple rules. You play the game by choosing an initial pattern of ...
