Okay, I don’t think it does not make sense to continue from here on. Might be my lack off terminology or just my incompetence in explaining anything.it’s always the same when I ask anybody anything via text on a digital platform. I always get misunderstood. I’m certain that that’s some skill I...

haha, not going to pretend I would have an exact definition. My intuition in first place was to build this environment (which was a challenge already). Now that I have it all working I'm planning on playing around a bit and am trying to find "stable life". My idea of stable life is anything that...

I’ve already seen that paper but it’s not what I’m searching for, although it is certainly very interesting! That does sound interesting though. If I understood you correctly, the trick you are relating to is basically what I meant. Because, what I suggested (adding the amount of operations...

ok than it has a different name because I'm searching for the "value" that describes only the changes done to the ("game of life" or any other) matrix by some algorithm. I thought that would be complexity but if it isn't I would be thankful four another term. lol ):

sorry I'm not native, I don't really understand the question. if I understood you correctly though you are asking how I define a change "X"? A change X is any operation that changes the state of a cell in a cellular automata. There are really only two possible operations, kill/create and maybe...

so I guess the Kolmogorov complexity is not what I'm searching for then. Instead how about just the complexity of a game of life. Or the "amount of information" contained within a game of life with and initial matrix (cell config) over n evolutions?

I want to calculate the kolmogorov complexity of n evolution of a game of game of life(game of life is a kind of cellular automata). I’m not searching for the complexity of a certain pattern of cells but for the total complexity of an initial set of cells over n evolutions. Does it make sense to...
