I’ve seen GOL used for cool visualizations and for demonstrations of emergent behavior, but can GOL-like systems be used to efficiently solve any problems? Is it a tool worth learning? The pi calculation, for instance - is it more computationally efficient, a more succinctly expressed algorithm, or easier to understand than other pi calculation methods?
