Current composition
- 01Forecast B14/S468 for every cell from the frozen field.
- 02Count which of the eight neighbors will be alive in that ordinary forecast.
- 03Support at 5 or more: births on, survival on.
- 04Drain at 2 or fewer: births on, survival off.
- 05Otherwise keep ordinary Life. All results commit together; support never feeds back into this turn's forecast.
Try Support and drain in Initial condition to see both overrides immediately. Unanimous support is rare in sparse random fields.
