Ask HN: Why Game of Life automata always ends with Still life?
Hello everyone, I've been playing with Conway's Game of Life[1] lately and I noticed that most of the times when generating random grids in a terminal emulator or web apps almost always the output[2] ends with Still life and Gliders.
Is there a mathematical reason why this scenario happens and why Gliders are more prone to be generated?
