    • 1992 June 15, Harold McIntosh, “Variations on Conway Life.”, in comp.theory.cell-automata‎[1] (Usenet):
      Those are fully symmetric, but not semitotalistic; the main difference lies, among other things, in whether a pair of diametrically opposed live cells should give birth to a new cell.
