Rulestring	23-k5/34y B34y/S23-k5
Character	Chaotic

BiLife is a non-totalistic Life-like rule with a common p14 oscillator. All *WSS variants are unstable. The T-tetromino is a common p14 oscillator that frequently appears and gets destroyed a few generations later.

Character

BiLife is a rule with a complex character. It has many stable patterns, like glider, toad, and blinker. However, most of the methselahs explode.

Variants

Usually this pattern can be reduced to B3/S23-k5, or even to the totalistic rule B3/S235 (rule integer 16488).

BiHighLife

BiHighLife has rulestring B34y6/S23-k5.

BiDryLife

BiDryLife has rulestring B34y7/S23-k5.

Patterns

The T-tetromino mentioned earlier is a p14 oscillator. It also somehow shows off a 21-bit still life
