Posted: December 15th, 2020, 3:27 pm
Hello everyone.
Lately I have been playing around with backwards Life algorithms, i.e. algorithms that search for a parent state instead of the child state.
I figured it would be fun to find parents of images, so I set on finding the parent state of John Horton Conway himself! (And thus, bringing him to Life.
)
I found the following state:
