Abstract
A statistical analysis of the ``game of Life'' due to Conway [Berlekamp, Conway, and Guy, Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays (Academic, New York, 1982), Vol. 2] is reported. The results are based on extensive computer simulations starting with uncorrelated distributions of live sites at t=0. The number n(s,t) of clusters of s live sites at time t, the mean cluster size s\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{}(t), and the diversity of sizes among other statistical functions are obtained. The dependence of the statistical functions with the initial density of live sites is examined. Several scaling relations as well as static and dynamic critical exponents are found.
