Conway's life is Turing complete, like numbers + addition/
multiplication. You get everything computable from it, so it can be
used as (mathematical) ontology. Again, the modalities appearing from
inside are forever incomplete. Some pattern will not stop evolving,
despite no pattern, nor any machine, could ever know if it will stop
or not. Likewise, you will get the non provable, the non knowable, the
non observable from it. Physics and theology does not depend on the
base chosen (be it Conway's life, numbers, combinators, etc.). The
measure problem we have discussed all along is the same, whatever the
Turing-universal base is chosen.

I don't either but it doesn't matter because I have
EXAMPLES of life; and examples are almost always better than
definitions.
