Linear propagator is arguably the first explicit example of a replicator in Conway's Game of Life found by Dave Greene on November 23, 2013, depending on an exact definition of a replicator.[1]
As the pattern is too big to be displayed in detail using any reasonable scale (given one pixel were 1 mm, the whole pattern would be almost 15 km wide), the image on the right depicts only the underlying universal constructor.
