Notes

  1. 1.00 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 1.05 1.06 1.07 1.08 1.09 1.10 Has a simpler notation for the range-1 case
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 via Moore isotropic non-totalistic notation
  3. 3.0 3.1 Consecutive birth/survival transitions (Larger than Life) only for ranges above 2
  4. Consecutive birth/survival transitions (Larger than Life) only for ranges above 5
  5. 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 5.7 via Weighted Life
  6. 6.0 6.1 6.2 6.3 6.4 6.5 6.6 6.7 Extended neighbourhoods unknown
  7. 7.0 7.1 Only range-1 Moore natively supported, and range-1 von Neumann through its notation
