interesting discovery - if you change the parameters of conway’s game of life to be basically opposite - that is, the cell needs 1, 4, 6, 7, or 8 neighbors to reproduce and 5, 6, 7, or 8 neighbors to stay alive, a single cell will actually generate a rough approximation of a sierpinski carpet. i made a diagram of the process below

@pkmnq I heard somewhere that you’re a Conway’s Game of Life enthusiast, thoughts on this?
