dotloop

[bubblegum]

Do these even count as loops anymore?

dotloop and dotloop2 are loop rules where the replicator unit is a single cell.

dotloop and dotloop2 have nine states each. State 0 is the typical "dead" cell. States 1, 2, 3, and 4 are replicating cells and they birth state-5 scaffolding cells before evolving into state-6, 7, 8, and 9 cells, the resting cells. In dotloop, state-5 cells birth state-1 cells leading to an interesting "spike" effect where the right grows at c, the bottom c/2, the left c/3, and the top c/4 whereas is dotloop2 state-5 cells birth state-1, 2, 3, or 4 cells depending on the orientation so that each side grows at c.
