isn't this pattern the 2D projection of a periodic 5D pattern ? what would it mean for the glider's path in 5D (well, 6D with time) ?

- tim_hutton 14y agoYes, I think that's right. This page talks about De Bruijn's pentagrids method, which uses the same rhombi ribbons as the glider travels on as the axes of the 5D space: http://www.ams.org/samplings/feature-column/fcarc-ribbons http://www.ams.org/samplings/feature-column/fcarc-ribbons Five possible directions for the glider to travel in = Five dimensions of space. (Is that right?)
