I'd hazard the guess......that Tweaknik is trying to say something about the self perpetuation of species and the infinte 2d cellular automaton, being a universal turing machine, arguably therefore capable of such an isomorphism, is being represented by the game of Go. or something ;?)

perhaps the grammar is not quiet up-to-scratch there.....I agree, but I dont like your implication that I'm wrong about the board of Go
being equivalent to a finite 2d cellular automaton, whose infinite version is proveably equivalent to a universal turing machine.
I think Tweaknink knows this all too well as it would appear that the strip is making a direct reference to the idea that some parts of the universe have the property of self-similar construction. and there is a direct association with the 2d cellualr automaton and in particular to Conway's Game of Life,
(which are interestingly similar to the rules of the game of Go).
*ahem*
ps. Tweaknik, it would be nice if you could step in for moment here ;?)
