Abstract: In self-organized systems such as Conway’s Game of Life (CGL). Wikipedia, Conway’s game of the life, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life., though whether the single cell will survive or die seems unpredictable, the log–log distribution of all cells living frequency satisfies the 1/f linear law, thus meets the Self-organized Criticality(SOC) rule, which not only proves that CGL is a self-organized system, but more significantly, that the chance of living for each cell is spatial heterogeneous, and is statistical fractal.
