中文导读
一段仅两分钟的震撼视频，展示了利用 OTCA metapixels 和 Golly 在 Conway's Game of Life 内部完整运行另一个 Game of Life。镜头在微观与宏观尺度之间平滑缩放，直观展现出自指与嵌套模拟。
为什么 HN 推它
诠释图灵完备、嵌套仿真与自引用的教科书级视觉典范，被 HN 网友频频奉为“头脑风暴”的神级演示。
「这段不到两分钟的经典视频，极度清晰地展现了不同尺度层级间的奇妙关联。」HN 网友原话：here's a famous and really clear sub-2 minutes representation of the scales involved
英文原摘要（HackerTube / Claude 整理）
A two-minute video of Conway's Game of Life running inside Conway's Game of Life, built from OTCA metapixels and Golly. It zooms smoothly between scales.
The canonical visual for nested simulation, Turing completeness and self-reference; HN readers call it mind-blowing and reach for it constantly.

Game of Life emulated inside Game of Life
Here's a nice video showing OTCA metapixels in action, implementing Game of Life in Game of Life.
