Edit:
Never mind:
Because all the living cells of the seed have three living neighbors, no cells can be on adjacent to any of them. These cells are shown in blue:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
2.3B$.2BA2B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3BAB$2B3A
2B$.2BA2B$2.3B!
Therefore, none of the red cells can be on, because they will cause a birth at gray. But all other surrounding cells except for the seed cells are blue, so the red cells must be off:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
2.3B$D2BA2BD$BF3AFB$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3BAB$BF
3AFB$D2BA2BD$2.3B!
So all cells forced off are shown in blue:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
2.3B$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3BAB$2B3A
2B$3BA3B$2.3B!
The red cells have three on neighbors, four forced off neighbors, and one unset neighbor. To prevent a birth at red, the unset neighbor must be forced on:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
.A3BA$2BDAD2B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3BAB$2B
3A2B$2BDAD2B$.A3BA!
So this is the pattern so far:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
.A3BA$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3BAB$2B3A
2B$3BA3B$.A3BA!
Because the red cells would cause a birth at gray, and all other neighbors are either seed cells, cells forced on, or blue, the red cells must be off:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
DA3BAD$BFBABFB$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3BAB$
2B3A2B$BFBABFB$DA3BAD!
All blue cells must be off:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
BA3BAB$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3BAB$2B
3A2B$3BA3B$BA3BAB!
Because each of the gray cells are on, they must have three living neighbors:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
BF3BFB$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3BAB$2B
3A2B$3BA3B$BF3BFB!
And they have exactly three unset neighbors each, in red:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 14, rule = LifeHistory
3D.3D$BA3BAB$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3B
AB$2B3A2B$3BA3B$BA3BAB$3D.3D!
So we can force them to be on:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 14, rule = LifeHistory
3A.3A$BA3BAB$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3B
AB$2B3A2B$3BA3B$BA3BAB$3A.3A!
The red cells are off, with three on neighbors:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 14, rule = LifeHistory
3A.3A$BABDBAB$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA
3BAB$2B3A2B$3BA3B$BABDBAB$3A.3A!
And one gray unset neighbor:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 14, rule = LifeHistory
3AF3A$BABDBAB$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA
3BAB$2B3A2B$3BA3B$BABDBAB$3AF3A!
To prevent a birth at red, the gray cells must be on:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 14, rule = LifeHistory
7A$BABDBAB$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3BAB
$2B3A2B$3BA3B$BABDBAB$7A!
Because some forced on cells have three living neighbors, none of their surrounding neighbors can be on, or else they die:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 16, rule = LifeHistory
7B$7A$BA3BAB$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$BA3B
AB$2B3A2B$3BA3B$BA3BAB$7A$7B!
But that leaves two forced on cells shown in red that have only two neighbors. And because of their surrounding forced on cells that have three, they have no unset neighbors to be forced on:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 16, rule = LifeHistory
7B$3AD3A$BA3BAB$3BA3B$2B3A2B$BA3BAB$B2AB2AB$2BABA2B$2BABA2B$B2AB2AB$B
A3BAB$2B3A2B$3BA3B$BA3BAB$3AD3A$7B!
And therefore the initial pattern, the seed, cannot be stabilized.
