a land of former winter, where no invisible walls stood,
or could stand for more than a few hours at most...

I think that when this forum dies someone must create an article about systematic nomenclature.

Is there a systematic nomenclature?

Yep. In GoL there are "cis-" or "trans-".
Like, this is a cis- queen bee shuttle:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 22, rule = B3/S23

With enough time on your hands, you could analyze random.rle. Is it possible to write a script for this sort of thing?
