B3/S23 Rule

The B3/S23 rule describes how a cellular automaton evolves over time, specifically in Conway's Game of Life. It states that a dead cell will become alive if it has exactly three live neighbors, while a living cell will stay alive if it has two or three neighbors. If a living cell has fewer than two or more than three neighbors, it will die in the next step. This simple set of rules creates complex, evolving patterns from initial arrangements, illustrating how simple conditions can generate intricate behaviors.
