Everything is uniquely defined by the initial pattern.
uniquely? GoL isn’t reversible (unlike Critters or …(1d cellular automata that defeats the original point of socolar-taylor tiling by having all 2^3 rather than just the six from rotations) where information can’t be destroyed, in which case boards containing intelligent agents won’t become more common than otherwise)
