Re: List of the Turing-complete totalistic life-like CA

B/S235 has W110 stripe; 32x128 tile with help from a slightly smaller crossover component (from redstoneboi/shatterbox in the lounge) and a lot of rearrangement, it can be reduced to 17×51! this does not work properly in practice due to timing constraints; the outputs need to be properly synchroniz...

Sorry to bring this up again but

In my experience, both terms are in use, but "transition" seems significantly more commonly used than "condition". Just from a descriptive linguistics standpoint, it makes more sense to use "transition".
