Match 1111 anywhere in eight states. The cell dies only when its repeated direction also matches the nine-beat clock.

Fire Wings

A compact ignition opens into recurring wing-like fronts as alternating weighted-neighborhood rules meet enforced rest, finite life, and a directional history clock.

Current composition

01Phase A applies B34/S345678; Phase B applies B234578/S04678.
02Every cell permanently counts one seeded Moore direction twice.
03Life continues through count 3; birth waits for 6 dead continuations.
04History 1111 forces death when direction and nine-beat clock align.
