Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population.
Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
It's typically done in 2d but 3d would work fine. Just make redstone blocks that obey the rules.
The game already has ticks, energizing, glowing, blocks and everything needed, it's just a special and somewhat quick set of behaviors. Conway's game of life is a rather old and very geek loved setup. In fact, it's Turing Complete even with just the four behavior rules.
The ease of implementation to geekgasm ratio should merit serious consideration.

I'd like a Conway simulator in minecraft. You could build some crazy stuff with it.
