methuselah (ca)

In cellular automaton, a methuselah is a small "seed" pattern of initial live cells that take a large number of generations in order to stabilize. The smallest is the R-pentomino, which takes 1103 generations before stabilizing while one of the largest is the acorn, developed by Charles Corderman, which takes 5206 generations to stabilize and produce an "oak." Patterns that grow forever are not considered methuselahs. Other examples of methuselahs include bunnies and rabbits.
