Langton's loops
text:
Langton's loops are a particular "species" of artificial life in a cellular automaton created in 1984 by Christopher Langton. They consist of a loop of cells containing genetic information, which flows continuously around the loop and out along an "arm", which will become the daughter loop. The "genes" instruct it to make three left turns, completing the loop, which then disconnects from its parent.
