Do you then need to provide them with some kind of "fuel" to keep them going, e.g. can a spaceship gun be built, but it must process or convert some raw material (say a long train of still lifes or something) and only runs until that material is exhausted? | |

| Jul 17, 2022 at 9:18 | comment | added | Joseph Van Name | Would you like to consider other cellular automata like Critters? Critters conserves mass/energy if one defines mass to be the number of on cells and equates mass with energy. Critters is a time-reversible cellular automata, so it also satisfies a second law of thermodynamics, but unlike most reversible cellular automata, Critters can run for millions of generations with no drastic entropy increase. dmishin.github.io/js-revca/index.html | |
