Conway's Life

About 40 years back I bought a book of John Horton Conway 'On numbers and Games'. Numbers are not really integers that most grow up with but they are very similar to the concept of zero and one that of Vedanta - Shunya (zero) and Creator (one). Two persons are playing games - L is set of moves for left person. R is the set of moves for R person. When L, R are empty, we have and second person wins. L wins for positive numbers, while R wins for negative numbers. Loser has no move.
0: |
1: 0|
2: 1|
- 1: |0
*: 0|0 is not a number called fuzzy
he goes on describing operations rational etc and create numbers similar to real but not really.

Conway's game of life assumes two dimensional grid extending indefinitely in all directions. Each grid position is either on or off. In the next time instant grid goes off or on depending on the ON counts of its immediate neighbors. Watch the following visual for the rules of becoming OFF or ON. Also different evolution of life given a starting pattern.

You can of course extend the substratum to be three dimensional. Grid elements are cube and neighbors are 26. Chose your initial pattern and rules create your universe.

Our universe that we see as if euclidean is so due to my own limitation to think otherwise incorporated with simple rules deterministic in nature. I have not much knowledge of thermodynamics but theory behind it probabilistic and non-euclidean space.

Reality I shall never know and no one shall ever know. Equipment created for observation too makes observations in linear time. I wonder if this itself is not an assumption. For example it can be a spring and it should be possible to make time jumps. Neighbors are not limited to two as in linear scale.

I am not going to make clever theories. I am past stage of university honors where some understand. I know all is in my mind and god it is unique and personal is outside my mind. I see what is shown. I think what is thought. I do what is done. I am a hopeless and limited within now.

Nothing sticks to god - there is no attribute

In the language I can't write down anything that even one understands.
