Funny, I just stumbled upon this yesterday: Special Relativity Theory and Cellular Automata: Light as a Cellular Automata Process http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/9902034 Also Edward Fredkin is a big believer in cellular automata being the foundation of reality: https://arxiv.org/find/nlin/1/au:+Fredkin_E/0/1/0/all/0/1 And a great book with him in it: https://www.amazon.com/Three-Scientists-Their-Gods-Informati...

Um, my first comment was just referring to the fact that in an absolutely framed turing-complete environment. One can sprout a quantum vacuum full of constant noise, ie. constant producing and annihilating structures(analagous to virtual particles.) This is already experimentally observed in our own universe. Quantum noise exists in vacuums. If you look at C in GoL as the fastest an actual black square can propagate, then of course you'll validate your naive assumptions that our universe could never be digitally replicated by GoL. But if you take the idea of implementing a primordial sea of…
