Perception is being. Only by experience do we know that we exist -- even if that experience is sometimes our own formless consciousness. Similarly, quantum mechanics claims that phenomena only exist explicitly once they have been observed (having only "potential existence" as entangled superpositions of many states prior to observation).

The observer is central. I perceive therefore I am.

2-Dimensional cellular automata, hexagonal array,
Rule 417 + Seed 3.003.

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

Hexagonal Cell Array: begins at 24 x 24 (columns x rows) and grows in increments to 136 x 136 on time-step 100, and then remains constant until the final time-step 319.

Periodic boundary conditions: horizontal & vertical dimensions wrap across opposite edges, giving a finite closed continuous surface equivalent to a 2-torus (the surface of a standard 3-d ring donut).

Neighborhood: semi-totalistic (details to be published at a future date),

Time: 319 steps (display rate 5 fps). The first & final frames are shown for 1 & 2 seconds, respectively.

Live cell population: starts at 3, and reaches a maximum of 2514 on time-step 178, and then ends with 2052 on the final time-step 319.
