This 4-state automaton emulates two independent life worlds:

A "shadow" effect from two close-by r-pentominoes:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = DoubleLife
.2B$2.2B$2AB$.2A$.A!

Can be useful when tracking differences between patterns:

Code: Select all

x = 72, y = 71, rule = DoubleLife

Did you do this rule yourself? When yes, do a TripleLife rule with 8 states.

Nah. OctupleLife and we could fill all 256 possible states.
