Some more information about Conway's "Game" of Life:
It is a cellular automaton (a program that controls many cells) in which after each iteration/generation/tick/whatever you call it:
1) live cells with 4 or more of the eight cells around them living will die.
2) live cells with 1 or less of the eight cells around them living will die.
3) live cells with 2 or 3 of the eight cells around them living will stay alive.
4) dead cells with 3 living cells around them will come to life.

Fun. It seems stable. You can introduce another element to disrupt it -- I think of that as a germ.
