Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population. 2. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation. 3. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by over-population. 4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours be- comes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
