Conway's Game of Life: Part 3 (Order from Chaos)
The three categories of Still Life, Oscillators and Gliders are discussed and the examples from Part 1 and Part 2 are reviewed and classified (Block, Boat, Beehive, Blinker and Glider). New configurations (or patterns) are discovered (Toad and Tub) by examining the "ash" resulting from randomly seeding a large area of cells and "igniting" them. The 2nd such experiment results in the discovery of the (Cambridge) Pulsar which was originally discovered by John Conway in 1970. The Longboat and Ship also appear.
The 2nd half of the video itemises the top ten most frequently discovered Still Life configurations in "ash experiments". Finally a similar list is displayed for the top ten most frequently discovered Oscillator patterns. This latter list also displays their behaviour and discusses the period of each configuration (eg period 2: Beacon, Clock, Bipole, Quadpole; period 3: Pulsar; period 8: Figure 8; period 15: Pentadecathlon etc)
The Game of Life is an example of a Cellular Automaton. Cellular Automata are studied in Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics and Theoretical Biology. The Game of Life was invented by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970 and first published in the Scientific American Mathematical Games column written by Martin Gardner.
