I did some more work on my Lifebox home page. Avalon (my publisher) sent me a PDF of half the book to post online: all of Chapters 1, 2, and 4 (out of six chapters in all).
So go to the Lifebox site and have a look. And then, buy it and/or post positive comments about it on Amazon!
The cone shells are waiting for you.

Your book will travel around the world and touch millions. I think Bill Griffith the cartoonist for ZIPPY will also love what you wrote.

I got mine from Amazon already.
Much easier to read than the PDF:-)

I haven’t really read the book yet. However, I have browsed Stephen’s “A new kind of science”. I think your book might be a further development from that.
It is quite interesting that via automatism computation you can reproduce and create some beautiful and realistic and logical results. However, I think it is not convincing to claim that these computations are governing the universe. In my view, such computation is only one way to depict the universe and there are many other ways.
I would like to have your opinion on this if you have time to reply me at zhaowei01@gmail.com
