I presume this is cellular-automata jargon for moving one cell per cycle?
edit: btw, I just saw the discussion about not posting to HN yet on the boards. My apologies, had I seen it I would have waited. I only posted this because (to my surprise) it looked like nobody else had and GoL posts are usually pretty popular around here.
