Re-enable teleology by modeling it through computation,
with a
pull technology rather than a push one for Conway's Game of
Life.
By setting several simple
rules the automatons interact with each other's existence
trying
to achieve the role that they are part of, either competing
over
the next space or cooperating over it.
Groups of automatons may choose to combine goals which
may
turn out to tear the new sociaty down or perhaps build it up.

If there are *no* push rules, wouldn't that imply that there are
no constraints? And, if there are no constraints, doesn't this
just become an exercise in identifying a maximand and
moving all the pixels instantaneously to whatever position
maximises it, with no actual "game" process on the way? |

Perhaps what is imagined is a combination of pushes and
pulls, or of competing pulls which act on each other locally as
pushes. |
