#Conway's game of #Life is entertaining and worth looking at. Simple rules produce complexity, for instance the #glider, a figure which migrates across the board or space, and the glider gun, which spits them out.

The #vonNeuman machine conceptually makes more of itself. See the #monolith in #ACClarke's #2001aspaceodyssey or perhaps #saberhagen 's #Berserkers #SciFi

Imagine a #drone #factory which hides, moves, and spits out drones which attack the enemy.

Could get messy.

Auf der Seite kann man auch lesen, dass #CONWAY und ein paar andere schon darüber nachgedacht haben.

Dort gibt es einen genauen Algorithmus, der dann Zahlen wie die XilliYilliZillion produziert, aber damit gewinnt man im Alphabet natürlich keinen Blumentopf.

Ich glaube keine der dortigen Zahlen kann Acht Billiarden schlagen (alphabetisch gesprochen).

Ich denke also, das meine Zahl oben gewinnt. Sie ist übrigens wirklich prim, wie ihr sicher geprüft habt, oder?
