gollark: I mean, Conway's Game of Life is Turing-complete and has self-replicators, those are "life".

gollark: I read somewhere that if we had four dimensions and similar physics things would be too unstable to work, and two dimensions doesn't really provide enough connectivity to do much, but I don't think you can give much of a meaningful answer beyond "it just is".

gollark: Oh, and sponsored segments sometimes.
