Presumably, it's a Gosper glider gun, but where you'd normally have a block at each end, you have a instance of Ouroboros bees instead.

The usual way to display a reaction envelope is to use a LifeHistory pattern with the blue cells left intact. But LifeHistory doesn't fit in well with the LifeWiki's current color scheme.


What if we make a rule like... LightHistory, perhaps, that is functionally LifeHistory but with Book-theme ...

I've interpreted it, akin to a PvP minigame in something like Minecraft, as that the spaceship has to be able to originate from your color of cells.
