The prepond is an predecessor of the pond. It is important because it makes about 54% of the ponds that doesn't appear in any other Life-like rules (because, for some reason, the Prepond only occurs in the Game of Life). It dies out at HighLife, which is the reason these 54% just aren't there, making the pond almost half as common.
