>It looks to me like "just" playing with numbers, i.e. normal phenomenon ultimately describable with some math theory.
group theory is dealing with even simpler rules and it was able to reach the state of "math theory", though far from completed. Anything more complicated than that - tiny islands of understanded surronded by narrow seas of "playing with numbers" in the vast oceans of unknown.
>It looks far-fetched to me to describe it with the terms like "simple rules can result to complex emergent
behaviour," etc...
>Now this looks similar to me
any proof of "far-fetchedness" or similarity would put you right into the head of the line for the Fields :)
