I create this library of all books.

I can write a super short program which creates this library.

So this library which has all books has zero information content.

And you take a subset of this library and suddenly you have a lot of information in there.

So that's fascinating.

Yeah, the cellular automata, and especially the Conway's Game of Life, is really great because the rules are so simple.

You can explain it to every child, and even by hand, you can simulate a little bit.

And you see these beautiful patterns emerge.

And people have proven that it's even Turing-complete.

You cannot just use a computer to simulate Game of Life, but you can also use Game of Life to simulate any computer.

That is truly amazing.

And it's the prime example, probably,

demonstrate that very simple rules can lead to very rich phenomena.

And people sometimes, you know, how is chemistry and biology so rich?

I mean, this can't be based on simple rules.

But no, we know quantum electrodynamics describes all of chemistry.

And we come later back to that.

I claim intelligence can be explained or described in one single equation, this very rich phenomenon.

You asked also about whether I understand this phenomenon.

It's probably not.
