Technology is the collective set of known reactions exploiting one subset of the Life universe. Examples of these subsets include glider synthesis, period-30 glider streams,[1] period-46 circuitry,[2] c/3 spaceships, grayships, sparkers, Herschel conduits, HashLife-friendly patterns, slow salvos, universal constructors, and many more.[3] As new reactions and objects are found, over time any particular technology becomes more versatile and complete. Many Life experts like to concentrate on particular technologies.
