In theory, I have no idea -- I've never seen a rule table with variables anywhere except right up at the top.
Code: Select all

At least, if the old definition of the 'a' variable were being used for the last two lines, state 1, 3, or 5 ON cell surrounded by ON cells should stay on instead of turning off -- but they don't.
