4. Cellular Automata and Fractal Evolution

The Game of Life - the Or Operation

Finally, suppose bith A and B have 0s in the current location.
The hole in the A stream lets the glider from the top glider gun stream through, so a 1 is transmitted to B.
But there is no glider in the B stream to kill this glider, so it is transmitted to the left glider gun stream.
The glider in the top stream kills the left gun stream, contributing a 0 to the current location of A or B.
That is, if both A and B are 0, then A and B is 0.

Return to the or operation.
