Learning Cellular Automata and Texture Reduction
2:00:43 - 2:09:03 (08:19)
The speaker talks about the iPad app Golly which has different variants of Conway's rule and can be used to learn cellular automata and reduce textures from images, similar to analyzing organisms on a higher level of abstraction like a biologist would.

Summary
The complexities presented by cellular automata are challenging to analyze, despite being composed of simple tiny objects with simple rules. The podcast hosts discuss how to reduce these complexities and mimic textures in images in attempts to better understand these objects.

Summary
Golly is an iPad app that allows for higher level analysis of game variants and organisms that interact with each other in a cellular automata game. It also allows for fast generation iterations of the game rule which is faster than the normal speed of play.
