But if a dead square is surrounded by three living squares
但若一個死方格周圍有三個活方格
It becomes lit,or is born.
它就點亮了 也就是它誕生了
Once you set an initial state of living squares and let the simulation run
一旦設(shè)定活方格的起始狀態(tài) 并開始啟動模擬
These simple laws determine what happens in the future.
這些簡單的規(guī)則就會決定未來發(fā)生什么事
The results are surprising.
結(jié)果令人詫異
As the program progresses,shapes appear and disappear spontaneously.
隨著程式的進(jìn)行 形狀自發(fā)地出現(xiàn)又消失
Collections of shapes move across the grid bouncing off one another.
各種形狀在網(wǎng)格上移動 互相碰撞
There are whole kinds of objects,species that interact.
各種物體 或者說是各種物種互相作用影響
Some can even reproduce
有些甚至能繁殖
Just as life does in the real world.
就如同現(xiàn)實世界的生命一樣
This complex properties emerge from simple laws...
這些復(fù)雜的物體源自簡單的法則
That contain no concepts like movement or reproduction.
法則并未包含移動或繁殖等概念
It's possible to imagine that something like the Game of Life
因此我們可以想象 像生命游戲這樣的東西
with only a few basic laws...
只要有一些基本法則
might produce highly complex features.
就可能產(chǎn)生高復(fù)雜的特征
Perhaps even intelligence.
甚至是智慧
It might take a grid with many billions of squares,
可能需要有數(shù)十億方格的網(wǎng)格才行
but... that's not surprising. We have many hundreds of billions of cells...in our brains.
但這沒什么好驚訝的 我們的腦子里 可是有數(shù)千億個細(xì)胞呢
