my life's work is the continuation of von neumann's research on self reproducing machines. I just had a major breakthrough after 15 years and am just free writing a massive series of articles right now

i watched that video briefly and skipped around, it looked like it was based on cellular automata? I have never heard of this specific application, but am aware this type of application is possible for them. Cellular automata were used by John Conway in the game of life, and I have studied this subject pretty deeply and this is a major source of inspiration for what I am doing now
