I have a question about the game of Life. Where does the term “Life” come from?

The game of Life was invented by John Conway in 1970. The name comes from the fact that the game is based on the mathematical concept of a life. The game is played on a square grid, and each cell can be in one of two states: alive or dead. The goal of the game is to fill the grid with as many alive cells as possible.
