First replicating creature spawned in life simulator - physics-math - 16 June 2010 - New Scientist: "IF YOU found a self-replicating organism living inside your computer, your first instinct might be to reach for the antivirus software. If, however, you are Andrew Wade, an avid player in the two-dimensional, mathematical universe known as the Game of Life, such a discovery is nothing short of an epiphany.
When Wade posted his self-replicating mathematical organism on a Life community website on 18 May, it sparked a wave of excitement. 'This is truly ground-breaking work,' wrote a fellow Life enthusiast, Adam Goucher, on the website Game of Life News. 'In fact, this is arguably the single most impressive and important pattern ever devised.'"
