Kind of.

It's a more graphical representation of the three rules devised by Dr
John Conway in 1970
  +A dead cell with three neighbours comes to life
  +A living cell with two or three neighbours survives
  +All other cells die or stay dead

Take a gander at my web page, or preferably Paul Callahan's page at
http://radicaleye.com/lifepage/ or the one at Math.com
(http://www.math.com/students/wonders/life/life.html) for some better
examples...
