Replicator (cellular automaton)
In cellular automata, a replicator is a pattern that produces copies of itself.
In homonymous Replicator(B1357/S1357) cellular automaton rule, every pattern is a replicator.[1][2]
Highlife(B36/S23) rule has a simple replicator.[1]
On November 23, 2013, Dave Greene built the first replicator in Conway's Game of Life(B3/S23).[3]
