Self-replicating programs spontaneously emerge from randomly initialized code in simple programming languages like Brainfuck, Forth, and assembly, without any designed replication mechanisms or fitness functions. Through self-modification and random interactions alone, these systems transition from "pre-life" chaos to "life" dynamics where replicators compete, evolve, and develop increasingly complex behaviors, offering new insights into how life itself might originate on any computational substrate.
