I don't feel like poring through the rule tables or using trial and error, so... What exactly are the differences between the Tosc rules and Life? I've noticed some conditional S4 in the first rule, but I don't know if there's more. In both rules, the middle cell survives if: . . O . O O O O . In t...

I've seen occasional natural Octagon IIs too; no idea yet what's the precedessor.

Fleet is an Octagon II predecessor.

Yep, dvgrn is right -- messages in the outbox are just messages that haven't been read yet. You can continue to edit them (or even delete them) while they are in the outbox.

I have recently been comtemplating an idea of a program which could look for oscillators, wicks, agars, waves and maybe even spaceships in all 2-state rules with less-than-or-equal-to-Moore neighbourhood, such as: B0 rules. Hexagonal, von Neumann rules. Non-totalistic rules (all ones from this thre...
