Abstract: We investigate the asymptotic density of living cells as dependent on an initial density, the results of scattering of gliders on small stable configurations and the damage spreading in an open system, subjected to a stream of gliders with the rules of the cellular automaton "Game of Life." We find that a damage increases approximately with the second power of time through about the first ten steps; later its time dependence becomes almost linear.
