This idea was inspired by Stephen Wolfram talk about a discrete model of a universe.
I wanted to recreate Conway’s Game of Life using hypergraph rewriting ruleset – plus expand the concept with a notion of unfolding space.
Two posts were written as a result of that:
The full Game of Life was not simulated – but a “truncated” version with a case of only 2 neighbors was successfully calculated. Interestingly, the way the information propagated through space had a limit – very reminiscent of the finality of the speed of light. The speed of light is the speed of causality – the fasted information can travel.
