What is the algorithmic equivalent to Conway's Game of Life?
Dijkstra's algorithm
Game of Trees
Turing machine
Kraken algorithm
Answer
The Turing machine, a theoretical computational model, serves as the algorithmic equivalent of Conway's Game of Life. Both the Game of Life and Turing machine are capable of replicating complex behaviors through simple rules. The former does this with cells on a grid, while a Turing machine employs a read/write head on an infinite tape, following a set of instructions.
