Games of Proto-Life in Masked Cellular Automata (MCA)

Games of Proto-Life in Masked Cellular Automata (MCA) Syed Mustafa Ali and R. M. Zimmer
Abstract
	We investigate a relativistic variant of Conway's Life rule in the context of two-dimensional cellular automata with neighbourhood templates defined by lattice geometry. The Proto-Life rule is based on an abstraction of crystal growth processes and we discuss how it provides a model for the emergence of a crystalline precursor to life from an initial random prebiotic soup.
