nal aptitude is suppressed in deference to the mediocre lowest common denominator of society.

rid like evanescent neural impulses or bioluminescent clusters of diatoms. In Stephen Hawking’s 2012 film The Meaning of Life, the narrator describes Conway’s mathematical model as simulating “how a complex thing like the mind might come about from a basic set of rules,” revealing the overweening ambition

es. The drawings and binary figures are animated using algorithms from mathematician John Horton Conway’s 1970 Game of Life, a “cellular automaton.” Conway set up parameters for any square (“cell”) to be lit (“alive”) or dark (“dead”) in an infinite, two-dimensional grid. The rules are summarized as foll

tered. This challenge, which sounds like something out of science fiction, is known by technologists by a name that does sound like a short story by Isaac Asimov: “The Confinement Problem”. The computer scientist Butler Lampson named this in 1973 as a sort of task for computer security experts - possibly their

s possible. That Cap’n Crunch thrill, the dream of whistling up control over the thick, helpless trunk of a network, that remains the dream. Remember Conway’s Law: The design and activity and control of a network redounds on, even determines the real world. If the whole network is, in a sense, filled with
