@ibdknox That was what I got out of @Jeremy Pennerās point at https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/C5T9GPWFL/p1556655545323500 as well: The Game of Life has simple rules, but they lead to highly non-linear effects.
Perhaps composability is more important than simplicity. (Simplicity = virtue ethics, composability = consequentialist ethics?)
