They do discrete time (Euler integration), but one could easily make
it continuous by replacing it with a Runge-Kutta integration scheme.

Thanks for posting this.

Very cool videos indeed. Although those are no more cellular automata, those are still featuring digital phenomena, even with a Runge-Kutta integration scheme. I guess this remark is obvious, despite the notion of computation on the real does not have standard definition, nor the equivalent of Church thesis. Of course some people search for that.

I bet those smooth life game are Turing universal, but that might not be so easy to prove. I guess the simplest way to do that consists in finding the good subrange of phenomena need to get the elementary part of a "von Neumann" sort of machine, like with the usual GOL.
