LifeWiki was founded in 2009 by Nathaniel Johnston, a professor of mathematics and computer science at Mount Allison University, as part of the ConwayLife site founded in 2008 by Johnston.^[5][6] It serves as a focal point for one of the many mathematical communities John Horton Conway's work brought into being,^[7] a starting point for Life enthusiasts to learn about new developments in Life patterns,^[8] and a comprehensive listing of the many forms of emergent behavior that Life patterns are now known to have.^[9]
