It has been suggested that interesting things, in particular life, happen where there are entropy gradients (I’m thinking of ‘Into the Cool’ by Eric Schneider and Dorion Sagan). If Ramsey theory could be used to show that most universes are likely to have entropy gradients then that could be used to argue that fine tuning is unnecessary.
The fact that this would only be a tiny part of the universe agrees with the observation that the only life we know about occupies a tiny part of the universe.
Regarding Conway’s game of life, it’s important to note that it allows irreversible microphysics, and so won’t have anything like our thermodynamics.
