In signal circuitry, the distance from an edge shooter
output lane to the last unobstructed lane adjacent to the
edge-shooter circuitry. For example, an Fx119 inserter has an
unusually high 27hd clearance.
Also, oscillator and eater variants may be said to have better
clearance if they allow gliders or other signals to pass closer
to them than the standard variant allows. The following
high-clearance eater1 variant by Karel Suhajda allows gliders to
pass one lane closer on the southeast side, than is allowed by the
standard fishhook shape.
This is considered to be a variant of the eater1 because the
reaction's rotor is exactly the same, even though three cells in
this variant are too overpopulated to allow a birth, instead of
underpopulated as in a standard eater1 glider-eating reaction.
Game of Life Explanation
The Game of Life is not your typical computer game. It is a cellular
automaton, and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway.
This game became widely known when it was mentioned in an article
published by Scientific American in 1970. It consists of a grid of
cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or
multiply. Depending on the initial conditions, the cells form various
patterns throughout the course of the game.
Rules
For a space that is populated:
Examples
Each cell with one or no neighbors dies, as if by solitude.
Each cell with four or more neighbors dies, as if by
overpopulation.
