Had this been mentioned before, or has anyone realized that Symbiosis is just one fraction of an infinitely-extensible series of rules?
edit: wait, why can't they detect their rule file above?
For example, here's Symbiosis based on HighLife:
Code: Select all
@RULE Symbiosis_HighLife
@TABLE
n_states:3
neighborhood:Moore
symmetries:permute
1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,1
1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0
0,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,1
1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0

2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0
2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0
Code: Select all
x = 21, y = 21, rule = Symbiosis_HighLife

And here's one based on Seeds:
Code: Select all
@RULE Symbiosis_Seeds
@TABLE
n_states:3
neighborhood:Moore
symmetries:permute
1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Code: Select all
x = 4, y = 68, rule = Symbiosis_Seeds

And here's a hybrid where red is based on Day&Night and yellow is based on LongLife:
Code: Select all
@RULE Symbiosis_Hybrid01
@TABLE
n_states:3
neighborhood:Moore
symmetries:permute
1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0
2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0
Code: Select all

See? Symbiosis can be based on anything you want, not just CGOL.
Also, off-topic, but i had to mention that @b-engine is posting a bit too much recently:
