Nick Gotts

Nick Gotts is a Life enthusiast who is known for developing several very small (by cell count) patterns that exhibit quadratic growth. The previous record-holder for the smallest such pattern is his 26-cell quadratic growth pattern. He also has investigated how complexity can emerge from sparse random soup.

Patterns found by Nick Gotts

gollark: Er, that seems a broken way to do it.
gollark: And... why do you store the event in `_`.
gollark: Also, I don't think `os.pullEvent("threading.stop", Threading)` will do anything other than wait for a `threading.stop` event.
gollark: Why are `Thread` and `Threading` separate?
gollark: Are you doing something *other* than just running coroutines with an event loop?
