Neumann cellular automations are population models rather than real biological models, some sort of 'meta-models' or population games. If we chose just few rules carefully they stay alive and in motion through many generations. This online population is a spatial version of the original Conway life-game. Entering the virtual space we can observe the life of this cell population and whilst watching it we influence their life and development as well. Our presence cause trifle mutations and change the original rules of the development of the subsequent generations.
