How is it different from the original Extrementhusiast's Extended Life rule?

Original Extremethusiast's Extended Life rule:

Code: Select all

# 1 changes to 0 when (state1 neighbors + state6 neighbors) != 2, 3
# 1 changes to 0 when (state3 neighbors + state4 neighbors) >= 1

unname66609's Extended Life 2 rule:

Code: Select all

# 1 changes to 0 when (state1 neighbors + state2 neighbors + state6 neighbors) != 2, 3
# 1 changes to 0 when (state3 neighbors + state4 neighbors) >= 1
