Fascinating paper from Frank Jülicher looking at a continuous (as opposed to cellular automaton) version of the Game of Life, and finding Turing-like patterns. arxiv.org/abs/2607.27402

Continuous Game of Life: cell emergence and self-organization at the edge of growthConway's Game of Life shows that simple rules can generate a rich diversity of emerging structures. This cellular automaton has been translated to continuous space by Rafler (2011) in a simulation cal...arxiv.org
