The La La Land part is super scuffed cause it kept getting flagged for copyright, sorry about that. I'm pretty unhappy with the overall quality of the visuals in this video, but it's been a good learning experience for how quality will transfer to KZfaq. Videos will look better in the future.

Rendering the videos in 2/4k as well as doing 60hz will probably help with at least some of the compression artefacts.

Premium bitrate 1080p is rolling out for KZfaq Premium subscribers, obviously the bitrate & general video quality is likely higher for 1440p and even higher for 4K, however I believe KZfaq keeps a copy of all originally uploaded video files for all videos so even this older video of yours here will look better for KZfaq premium subscribers that set the quality to 1080p premium. I am of-course assuming they will go back through and re-encode older videos at the higher premium bitrate, I certainly hope that will be the case. It would really suck if only new videos got the premium bitrate treatment. I really do think to get people that haven't yet signed up for YT Premium to sign up they need to have the premium bitrate on older videos too. Oh, and we do know that KZfaq is actually raising the bitrate for the '1080p premium' option and not just lowering the normal option, or trying to hide it by lowering normal and raising premium. I have heard that some analysis has been done to confirm this.

I feel like explaining rule 110 by its binary representation (01101110) would have been easier, and also would have allowed you to explain the other rules fairly quickly.

I'm surprised that you discussed the relatively dry fluid simulation work but gave no mention to von Neumann's "Universal Constructor" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_universal_constructor) and the works it inspired. That is a really interesting field in my opinion. Incidentally, John Conway himself said in an interview a few years ago that "The Game of Life" has been given far more attention than it deserves.

And post 2020, Stephan wolfram would create a fundamental theory of physics based on automata (complexity from simple rules) You should look into the wolfram model btw. I’ve been using it to create essentially new inventions and innovations in the program I use. Someone like you could probably do exponentially greater things (not that you haven’t already) Cheers

Use of Cellular automata for modeling fluid flow is actually gaining more popularity these days. It takes a lot of the user input required for creating meshes out of the subjective realm and allows for meshes to be created and simulated automatically.

I don't like your phrasing for the part about most either diverging into chaos or becoming repetitive, there are hundreds of thousands of rules similarly interesting as CGOL (Conway's Game Of Life) and W110, it's just that many are not in totalistic neighborhoods. I've actually been studying cellular automata for around 3 or 4 years now and there's a lot of interesting stuff beyond just those two. Also, there aren't just two types of neighborhoods used in 2D CA, there's effectively infinite, it's just not all of them are focused only on the cells that are adjacent. Brian's Brain isn't a variant of CGOL its a completely unrelated explosive rule

@_M_i_C_a__ that's great! sadly, with cellular automata, there are very few academic publications as its so disconnected from most other fields. I'd recommend for actual reading on high level concepts that you start with two books, in order: A New Kind of Science, By Wolfram, and Conway's Game of Life Mathematics and Construction, by a few dozen volunteers of the conwaylife tech community (including some good friends of mine!)
