2-Dimensional cellular automata, hexagonal array,
Rule 211 + Seed 43.501.

Color-coding of cells age/life-status:
All colored cells are alive except blue-colored cells.
yellow = just born (state = 1),
red = alive 2 or more time-steps (state = 1),
blue = fading "ghost" of cell that died (state = 0),
black = empty space (state = 0),

Note: this "Hexagon-Multiverse" (H-M) cellular automaton (CA) is similar to Conway's famous "Game of Life" (GOL) in the sense that both are 2-dimensional, have binary cell states, and are synchronous and deterministic. But the GOL uses a square grid, while the H-M CA uses a more natural (common in nature) and symmetrical hexagonal grid. More importantly, the H-M CA achieves interesting results using a variety of different rule-sets, whereas the GOL is limited to a single rule-set.

Cell array size: remains constant at 160 columns x 160 rows.

Neighborhood: semi-totalistic,

Time: 263 steps (display rate 5 fps). The first & last frames are shown for 1 & 2 seconds, respectively.

Live cell population: starts at 43, reaches a maximum of 2070 on time-step 261, and ends at 2051 on the last time-step 263.

Resolution: 2578 screen pixels per cell,
