But, Wolfram considers these little digital creatures are animals. He argues our Universe is just like the Game of Life: A set of simple rules leading to complex

Can a monkey, or perhaps some form of computerized random number generator, accidentally type out the script for Shakespeare's Hamlet or write Tolstoy’s War and Peace? Is knowledge generation simply a numbers game? Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace is generally assumed to be the
