1. This rule simulates micorbes
2. It is pretty accurate in science's eyes
3. Cells can eat food and merge and split
4. Dead cells turn into food

1. STATES:
2. State 0: Background
3. State 1: Live cell
4. State 2: Starving/Old cell
5. State 3: Food

1. TRANSITIONS:
2. 3-4 cells merge into 1 cell
3. Cells can eat nearby food
4. 2 Starving cells can merge into a live cell
5. 2 cells can merge if food is nearby
6. A cell surrounded by 4+ live cells dies
7. Food dissapears if nothing is nearby
8. Eating food makes a starving cell live again
