It takes about 300 loafers to construct a loafer. First, construct the constellation, and then use a loafer to ignite the reaction.

  1. Quantumly randomise a sufficiently large region of the Life universe, such that there is no way of knowing what pattern it contains until it is observed. This will divide the universe into O(2^gazillion) universes; however, the division has no cost, as it happens constantly anyway.
  2. If the universe doesn't contain a working glider synthesis for xs30_rr0v92sgz660743 that is rewindable arbitrarily far back in time, then

Well, if it exists and one can live in it (or create secret and difficult-to-enter offices, public sand boxes), if technically has been found. Naturally? It is artificially-made.

Why is there the rule about "no questions about other users?"

Asking a question about another user immediately causes the CGoL skyscraper to turn upside down twice in a row, which in turn causes the spiders that live in it to get angry. Because of this, such questions are frowned upon.

Why Golly doesn't support any CA on regular tessellations of a hyperbolic plane?

Golly≠Hyperbolica. For a start, Hyperbolica is a game, not a simulation software. Also, the tesselations of a hyperbolic plane have been patented by the same company that created Hyperbolica.

The NFTS file system is patented by Crêpetélévision Cookiechambre, which basically explains pretty much the entire situation.
