TLDR of the video:
Complex self-replicating programs emerging spontaneously from random noise byte strings with:
- zero mutation
- a sharp phase transition that looks like gelation
- and a proof that blocking deep symbiogenetic ancestry trees prevents the transition entirely
- written in a variant of BrainFuck that can read and write its own code called BFF.
