>>14403440>why are there interactions between real things?the universe is always dynamically fluctuating and interacting with itself
>Something you said reminded me of the game of life, that game with squares which appeared or dissapeared depending on some conditions. I suspect that the reason life can emerge in that game is because the squares interact with each otheryes, Conway's Game of Life was indeed meant to demonstrate how the universe can be approximate as a cellular automaton, and how relatively simple rules of local interaction can spawn complex structures, some stable, some dynamic, and some self-replicating
>so, why do atoms, or just real matter in general, react with other atoms / matter?the fluctuations that arise are simply defined in a self-consistent manner, there is no reason for it other than it being possible
