The ‘Game of Life’ was invented in 1970, and models a scenario related to evolution. Which one of the following statements best describes the central point of the game?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To approach this question, I’ll examine what the central idea of the Game of Life is trying to illustrate about evolution and complex systems.
Option 1: 'Simple rules can cause shapes to move across the board' This captures part of the behavior observed in the Game of Life, where simple local rules lead to patterns that can appear to move or propagate. However, it is a bit narrow because the main point is not just motion across the board, but the emergence of complex behavior from those rules.
Option 2: 'Complex behaviour can arise from simple rules' This statement precisely targets the core message of the Game of Life: with only a handful of simple, local update rules, the global behavior that emerges over time can be surprisingly rich and complex, including stable, oscillating, and chaotic patterns. It emphasizes emergence rather than prescriptive motion.
Option 3: 'Complex shapes can be created from simple ones' While this is true in some contexts and relates to how simple patterns can interact to form interesting results, it suggests a constructionist view rather than the fundamental lesson about how complexity arises from simple rules governing local interactions.
Option 4: '周围细胞过多的细胞可能会死亡' This is a translation of a specific rule (overcrowding leading to death) and describes a particular mechanism within the game, but it does not state the overarching takeaway about emergence and complexity; it is too narrow and focuses on a single rule rather than the broader concept.
In summary, the statements differ in breadth and emphasis. The most accurate interpretation of the central point is that complex behaviour can arise from simple rules, which captures the essence of how simple local interactions can generate rich global dynamics.
