Why Is Homer Jacobson Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Homer Jacobson is a former chemistry professor at Brooklyn College, New York City. In the 1950s he illustrated basic self-replication in artificial life with a model train set. A seed "organism" consisting of a "head" and "tail" boxcar could use the simple rules of the system to consistently create new "organisms" identical to itself, so long as there was a random pool of new boxcars to draw from.
