Are these not forms of life?
I would say yes. Quite cute :)
Note that such automata, or more complex one actually, but behaving in
the same way, can be derived algorithmically, from phi_x() = x, itself
solvable with the Dx = xx trick. It is the key of all notions self
(self-reproduction, self-reference, dreams, G, G*, etc.).

No, Langton's loops do not count. Nor do any published

William,
Do these count: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_universal_constructor
?
Read these papers:
Computational Ontogeny, already published in Biological Theory
and
Constructor Ontogeny, accepted for full presentation at
ECTA-2012.
Send your email address and I will forward these papers.
I am interested in seeing these papers. If you don't use e-mail to
interact with this list, you can go to the google group's page to
get any poster's e-mail address. It has some anti-spam protection
which is slightly safer than posting one's e-mail address directly
to this list.
