n .
1 .
A cellular -
automata game invented by John Horton Conway and first introduced publicly by Martin Gardner (
Scientific American ,
October 1970 );
the game '
s popularity had to wait a few years for computers on which it could reasonably be played ,
as it '
s no fun to simulate the cells by hand .
Many hackers pass through a stage of fascination with it ,
and hackers at various places contributed heavily to the mathematical analysis of this game (
most notably Bill Gosper at MIT ,
who even implemented life in TECO !).
When a hacker mentions ‘
life ’,
he is much more likely to mean this game than the magazine ,
the breakfast cereal ,
or the human state of existence .
Many web resources are available starting from the Open Directory page of Life .
The Life Lexicon is a good indicator of what makes the game so fascinating .

But in order to acquire and transfer civil rights the child must be born alive .
Whether a child is born alive ,

The fact of the child '

There may be a certain motion in a new born infant which may last even for hours ,
and yet there may not be complete life .
It seems that in order to commence life the child must be born with the ability to breathe ,
