I want to make it so that unspecified transitions kill the cell.
I am making a rule with non-totalistic stay rules.
Rule tables always use the earliest transition that applies to the cell. So assuming you already have your eight "any state" variables, you can just put this at the bottom of your table, and it'll only kill the cells if none of the other transitions above it worked:

Code: Select all

#,a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,0
where # can be replaced with whatever state number or variable you want.
