4. Cellular Automata and Fractal Evolution

The Game of Life - the Or Operation

Suppose A has a 1 and B has a 0 in the current location.
The glider in the A stream kills the glider in the top glider gun stream, so the top glider gun stream transmits a 0 to B.
There is no glider in the B stream to pass through the hole in the top glider gun stream, so the hole in the top glider gun stream continues on to the left glider gun stream.
The glider in that stream passes through the hole in the top glider gun stream, contributes a 1 to the current location of A or B.
That is, if A is 1 and B is 0, A or B is 1.

Return to the or operation.
