Download or read book Turing Machine Universality of the Game of Life written by Paul Rendell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a proof of universal computation in the Game of Life cellular automaton by using a Turing machine construction. It provides an introduction including background information and an extended review of the literature for Turing Machines, Counter Machines and the relevant patterns in Conway's Game of Life so that the subject matter is accessibly to non specialists. The book contains a description of the author’s Turing machine in Conway’s Game of Life including an unlimited storage tape provided by growing stack structures and it also presents a fast universal Turing machine designed to allow the working to be demonstrated in a convenient period of time.
