Some counterintuitive non-monotonicities in probabilistic rules in the Game of Life.

Theory in biosciences = Theorie in den Biowissenschaften - 16 Jul 2026

Storozhuk Konstantin, Pashinin Vadim

Abstract excerpt

We investigate and partially explain some of the ≪counterintuitive≫ effects that arise in a probabilistic analogue of Conway's ≪life≫ cellular automaton when cells are allowed to come to life or die out with certain probabilities depending on the number of living neighbors. Some biological analogies turned out to be appropriate. One of the most intriguing observations: if we add to the standard ≪B3S23≫ rules of...
