Computer simulation

Several parameters are visible in the formulation of the automaton --- the kind of neighborhood, the conditions for activation, the length of enforced inactivity. Neighborhoods for the CAM/PC are pretty well fixed; the Moore neighborhood in a single plane is convenient. The remaining planes are available as counters, giving up to eight generations of suspense; the rule for starting the count determines the activation criterion.
