Configuration vs computation:
Storing a configuration depends on the representation. To say that you’re storing a configuration of Conway’s Life, rather than some other 2d cellular automaton, requires some commitment that this is the intended computation. I have no idea what such a commitment would look like. Actually doing the computation sounds pretty good, but otherwise?
