Coagulations is a Life-like cellular automaton. Its rulestring is B378/S235678, which means that a cell is born when it has 3, 7 or 8 alive neighbours, and an alive cell survives when it has 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 or 8 alive neighbours.
Randomly generated patterns as small as the R-pentomino evolve into infinitely expanding chaos, which slowly settles down in its central part, resembling the process of blood coagulation.

Notable patterns
Still lives
All patterns that are stable in Life are also stable in Coagulations, because no still life from B3/S23 can trigger the B7 or B8 birth condition. Additionally, due to more survival conditions, many patterns unstable in Life also are still lives in Coagulations:

Oscillators
Many oscillators from Life also work in Coagulations.

Out of the most common Life oscillators, pulsar and pentadecathlon don't work, as pulsar triggers the S5 condition in one of its phases, and pentadecathlon triggers multiple conditions at once. Pulsar disappears entirely, while pentadecathlon evolves into a larger p5 oscillator.
