How do typical glaberish and Lenia CA compare?

Glaberish s613 CA compared to Lenia Hydrogeminium natans CA from a random uniform initalization.

* Clearly both CA are capable of escaping a bounding box, meeting the heuristic of fertility from (Eppstein 2010) [^Ep2010]

* It’s also easy to find vanishing patterns in these rules, meeting Eppstein’s mortality heuristic.
