Conway's Game of Life Glider found in Block Cellular Automatons 

Amogus billiard ball machine

5:04 yes very normal field definetly doesnt look like something

5:04 GET OUT OF MY HEAD

5:05 seems sus...

Three things: One how about a hexagonal plane with modified rules Two how would I contact you about a cool idea Three I'm enjoying the game of life content

Great video! Also, thanks for making me aware of reversible computing, I read about it and it's super interesting

You’re easily one of my favourite channels on YT 10/10 NeatAI does it again 👌

My only brain cell can think of only one thing to say: sus

5:06 looking kinda SUS

Absolutely happy to see this video

I for one welcome the coming rule of our Conway Glider overlords.

0:08 another familiar shape appeared to me

I think I figured out a sort of way to make this continuous: Take your Lenia, but you introduce a few different sorts of steps: You have your primary field be just a regular scalar field. Then we want to make To do this, take spatial derivatives over the primary field. You only need to look at the first-order total derivative, and the cross partial derivatives, to replicate block CA, I think. At each point, take combinations of those derivatives and the value of the primary field to generate the "block" at that point. This will be a field, presumably a vector field. You now apply some function which outputs another vector field. This corresponds to the transfer function changing one block to another. You now use an annular Lenia-Style function to update points in the primary field, using this 'output block' vector field as the function's input. This would probably involve the kernel being defined as another vector field, and you take the inner product between this vector field kernel and the 'output block' vector field, and then of course multiply by the time step and adding to the value to the primary field. The reason you want these to be vectors which you take the inner product of is to emulate how, with regular block CA, different tiles of each block will be put into the alternate grid at the next step. The various components of the block vector field would be analogous to different the different tiles in a block. This would probably be even meaner of an automaton than multi-dimensional Lenia to compute, but you do get to use hardware acceleration for those inner products. Even better, there might be some simple interpretation of the blocks in terms of some more well-known differential operator. This should also look like taking only the even or only the odd steps of block CA.

the last cube reminds me of the MC farlands

5:03 DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT!!!

I most definitely was not expecting to run across Highlander here...

In the end the universe is just a game of tic tac toe

I understood absolutely nothing And I'm completely entranced

I really like the color choice for the last cube. This seems pretty easy to generalize in higher dimensions also... I am wondering what a ruleset for 4 dimensions would do now haha

Crazy visuals man, nice job 👍

5:13 Sus?

If Richard Guy, who invented the Glider in the Game of Life, wouldn't have died too early from Covid, he certainly would enjoy to see this.

Is it possible to add 5 then the 4th and 3rd dimensions and through a neural network connect to a cascade and visualize in 2 dimensions?

Great video, thanks! 🙂

why doesn't the rule `15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0` work?

5:09 amogus GET OUT OF MY HEAD

That thumbnail is kind of sus ngl

What if a exagonal grid game of life?

Please Include links of animations!

non reversible transfer functions could be used as one way hash functions?

That Tron ruleset doesn't seem to do what it says it should do. If tiles 0 and 15 swap, why don't large, consistent areas switch? Or is it skipping a step each time?

So... It's the game of life, but not as we know it.

We are all here to see what new shapes you can evolve with AI!

does the cube from 6:10 and on , look like a volume of Plank-Units of Time-Space doing the ZeroPointEnergy-Thing or what !?

Do you think you can do a video on all the scientific/real life application of cellular automatons?

Ooooh , nifty

Why does that green glider move so weirdly?

You get a like just for mentioning reversible computing. It needs way more awareness.

uh yes exactly

what abou one with an 3x3 neighborhoood, or 2x4, or 2x3. maybe even 3x4!

What's the music in the last part of the video called? Idk why but it's really uplifting

0:07 5:03 i'm going insane

My first thought was that he was going to play Among Us in Conway's Game of Life and my second was Red is SUS xD

1:20

A glider is a glider bro. Pretty sure its manifested in just about every single cellular automata ever made, but good on you for the views I guess. Conway would be either proud or ashamed, not sure which tbh.

Really neat!

I stopped watchig until I meet something previous. why one cell has its own game of life inside?

You would benefit from a better a better mic.

sus

oh somehow first, cool :O

amongus

😉 God programmed the universe because they needed a screensaver ... 🤗🎃👻

I'm a bit confused how this is applying to 3D. Are you using an 8-bit cube with a transfer function?

The BB Machine ruleset is simply incredible.

Wait, wait, wait... Conservation of quantity? You mean, you could make a proper game with resource management out of this?

I have a crazy idea. Sorry, it might sound stupid bc I'm not a programmer-engineer type of guy. You showed us these wonderful 3d blocky automata, right? If we'll look just at the one slice of these simulations, it would look weird, but potentially very interesting. Like, looking in a 3d world, but in 2d perspective. Could it be possible, to programme TESSERACT cellular automata? Was it done before? Now that I think of it, it was probably done already. Have you ever heard of it?

5:07 idk looken pretty sus

I can see this being used for procedural (animated?!) textures of some sort, might be interesting to explore.

0:08 sus

0:08, the one on the right lookin kinda... kinda *suspicious*

5:04 amogus

i don't know, that bb machine is looking pretty sus

6:08 Minecraft Worldmap generator

so i had a though, what would a simulation like lenia look like if matter conservation were introduced to the equation in some way?

5:04 AMOGUS

Thumbnail = amogus

What about triangular and hexagonal CA ?

pretty sus ngl

I'm getting older... The last time I've read about Conway's game of life, for every time iteration, each cell was surviving/dying only counting the 8 neighborhood cell locations if they where live/empty... using the conway's original game of life rules. I tried to change the rules by myself but always end up with nothing special... so... what is this...mess of new rules?

I realy don't get a sense of what your saying, reversing is will get it to the position it was in in the first place. And algorithm in reverse will do the same, pixels, bits etc... Can you explain it more clearly?

WHAT'S THE MUSIC NEAR THE END!? also nice video thank you very much

6:05 looks like a 4-d minecraft world generation...

Reversible CAs are totally mind-bending

Glad the comments agree that this is a bit sussy

When the game of life is sus

I like pretty colors 😍

Pre watch guess: different generational progression rules
