  • A video of Conway's Game of Life, emulated in Conway's Game of Life.
    The Life pattern is the OTCA Metapixel: www.conwaylife.com/wiki/OTCA_m... - for more information, see otcametapixel.blogspot.com.au/
    The life simulator used is Golly - golly.sourceforge.net/ which has a built-in script to generate these metapixel grids (select a pattern, and choose "metafier.py" from the scripts list).
    Inspired by this video: • Droste effect in Conwa... but with the speed and scale varying smoothly over time, rather than in discrete jumps as the original video did.
    The actual video is exported from Golly using a custom Python script: github.com/mrphlip/life3/tree... (since Golly built-in only supports rendering the view with a scale which is a power of 2, for performance reasons - this is not a particularly well-optimised or fast script to run).
    The audio track used to be a Shepard Tone, but that was horrible, so I replaced it with some of the music in TH-cam's library (Jingle Punks - Back of the Room Hang)... if you really want to hear the original version, it is over here: • Life in life (original...

    The game of life is technically Turing complete, so if you have enough time and a large enough grid/enough memory, you can theoretically perform any operation on it that you can perform on any other computer. Hence, the game of life can simulate a nested game of life.

      I often wonder if people who are "far out" are mentally altered not because of substances but because of spending too much thought (as a result of substances) in a manner that isn't conductive to our preconceived notions of reality. By that I mean they think outside the box about things that the rest of us assume to be true.

      The individual components were stumbled upon by many people over a long time, that's how. First there was the glider, and then came the gosper gun, the first structure that infinitely makes gliders, and then years later, more sophisticated guns. Ultimately I don't think it is as impressive as everyone else seems to be making it out to be. The whole big life implemented by small life is really just rather similar to mapping the multiples of 10 to the integers. It isn't something anyone should be worked up over.

      Good thing tho, is that what we percieve of life is just a tiny fraction of the universe complexity; so we might still do games that look like similar to real life.
      For space travelling it's kind of the same; we know HOW WE COULD go all around the universe,, but it would be pointless:
      Relativity makes it so; if YOU move fast, then YOU don't percieve the time the same way than OTHERS that didn't came with you on, let say, a spaceship.
      So basically, with spaceship we could reach so much speed that it would allow the ship crew to visit, in their lifespana crazy 40% of our galaxy. But before they would even reach the closest star (a few minute, for the spaceship crew) the earth would'have gotten older of thousands of years, making any communication and/or trip back to earth impossible.

    Around 55 seconds in, you can see a small train of cells spawn on the left side of each of the large blocks. The train moves to the top of the block, then across to the right, then down and so on - this is the scanning function that is checking whether each of the blocks neighbours is currently on or off, and using that information to count them. I believe that the train of cells itself carries this count along as it goes, and when it finishes its scan, triggers the block itself to switch on or off for the next iteration of the higher level, depending on the count.

      @@why-____- It's an algorithm that use a set of rules to generate what is known as Conway Game of Life. It is designed to mimic some basic rule of reproduction and destruction for population. This is represented via squares that performs certain actions based on their configuration. Something like "if squares touch that way, create a new square, if they touch that way, destroy these squares". This video takes it a step further by allowing for multiple level of square interactions. The impact of the video is that you see all these small squares doing stuff and minding their business, and as you zoom out on the big squares, which you couldn't even see from the perspectives of the small squares, you see that the game they play completely supersed the game played by the little squares. One square meet another and *POOF* goes the big squares, taking with them all the little squares within them. This can be quite shaking and make you question your place in the universe.
      Do not fear (too much), there is no reason to believe that the universe abide by this specific set of rules.

    My mind is blown by the fact that this is similar to a property seen in biology. As the spatial scale changes, also the temporal scale does. While zooming out, the elemental components need to move faster in order to make sense at a larger scale. This reminds me of the movement of transporter proteins; the classic transporter of glucose GLUT (a big molecule that transports sugar into the cells) transports about 3000 molecules of glucose into the cell in 1 second, 1 at a time. It seems very fast at our scale, but for its scale is just average speed compared with all other molecule movements.
    So, if galaxies happen to organize in a working system like a thinking neural net, it must think veeeeery slow.

If there are 5 boxes sorrunding a single box then it's dissapers. And if there are less than 3 box then it will also disappear. So put up a starting point of pattern and work it out what happens in the next steps.

      CPU's would simulate something very regular & repeating like this better (by using the Hashlife algorithm or one of its minor variations). You simulate something like this with memoization & hashing and working on the compressed representation is an absolute necessity, you would run out of memory pretty quickly if you used brute force for this, especially if you want to do multiple levels.
      GPU's are pretty great at simulating soup with no repeating patterns though.

      @@qwerty81808 Except that source makes one major omission. It uses a stupid brute-force non-hashing algorithm on the CPU side, that just works on an uncompressed array.
      However, the difference between CPU's and GPU's is that CPU's let you practically manipulate data structures that are not practical to use on GPU's, such as persistent hashed trees. Instead of paralellizing, you use an algorithm that only computes the evolution of any pattern once and reuses that a potentially infinite number of times, which gives an exponential speedup for patterns that repeat a lot (which includes the majority of human-engineered patterns that do something specific, from guns, to puffers and spacefillers, to logical circuits, to the metacells you see in this video).
      The pattern in the video is much, much larger than 16k times 16k cells (closer to 1M x 1M), and with golly + hashlife I can simulate it at >10^12 generations per second. Exponential speed-ups > constant factor improvements.

    • @iii1429
      @iii1429 3 ปีที่แล้ว +125

      Been thinking about this alot. I think that a singularities break the fabric of the universe and creates new realities. The new reality is created by a "pop", or what we call it, the big bang. This new reality will be unbound to the previous universe. Thus size and space is not relative to the previous universe's, but relative to it's own. I think this is why our universe can expand infinitely, since there is no occupying "space". Our universe is already infinitely small and can therefore expand infinitely... aight, need to stop now or my existensial anxiety of dread will kick in

    • @iii1429
      @iii1429 3 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      singularities =/= particles, but I think about it like you do, but I think about of singularities instead. Singularities contains infinitely small space and an infinite amount of energies RELATIVE to the size (?). If there is infinite energy, but no space, it pops and funnels the energies into a "new space". Since the "new space" has infinite energy (relative to it's size, which is close to 0 ), all that limits it's expansion is the space and the distribution of energies. Maybe this is why the universe will freeze, the energy contained is simply too distributed in the vast space.

  • @joaquinvigara1356
    @joaquinvigara1356 3 ปีที่แล้ว +459

    These are the rules of a game. Let it be played upon an infinite two-dimensional grid of flowers.
    Rule One. A living flower with less than two living neighbors is cut off. It dies.
    Rule Two. A living flower with two or three living neighbors is connected. It lives.
    Rule Three. A living flower with more than three living neighbors is starved and overcrowded. It dies.
    Rule Four. A dead flower with exactly three living neighbors is reborn. It springs back to life.
    The only play permitted in the game is the arrangement of the initial flowers.
    This game fascinates kings. This game occupies the very emperors of thought. Though it has only four rules, and the board is a flat featureless grid, in it you will find changeless blocks, stoic as iron, and beacons and whirling pulsars, as well as gliders that soar out to infinity, and patterns that lay eggs and spawn other patterns, and living cells that replicate themselves wholly. In it, you may construct a universal computer with the power to simulate, very slowly, any other computer imaginable and thus simulate whole realities, including nested copies of the flower game itself. And the game is undecidable. No one can predict exactly how the game will play out except by playing it.

      Then set the game in motion. But there is no motion. Nor will there ever be. Those groups of four will continue on for eternity for each will always have exactly three neighbors. They will neither die, nor bring forth more life.
