Temperature

The blinker has temperature 0.8

The temperature of an oscillator is the average percentage of active cells that change state per generation. It expresses the heat of the oscillator relative to the number of active cells.

For example, blinker has a temperature of 0.8 as it has a heat of 4 (2 cells born and die each generation) and 5 active cells (The number of cells that are ever alive in an oscillator).
