       | This comment is related to the title but not the content. Several
       | years ago I read "The Planiverse" by Dewdney [1], which I thought

       | students simulate a Game-of-life/Lenia type system for a while,
       | and then in one case they learn that they can actually
       | communicate with them. The book is clearly inspired by Flatland
       | (which I'd also read and like).
