In the Game of Life the number of black cells is always infinite,

Because you restrict yourself to finite pattern. (Well, it is not a bad idea, to encode a state of mind, but that less sure for a universe of a god or something else).

You can do local ratios, with suitable definition, and I guess that was Jesse meant.
