The 10D automaton ran on a 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 lattice:
- Total cells: 59,049
- Neighborhood: 20 orthogonal neighbors
- Rule: B3/S23
- Initial live cells: 5,883
- Final live cells after 36 generations: 12,453
A full 10D Moore neighborhood would give each cell 59,048 neighbors, making a direct run extremely expensive. This version instead uses the 10D von Neumann neighborhood: one neighbor in each positive and negative dimensional direction.
The population quickly jumps upward and enters a damped two-cycle-like oscillation around 12,000–13,000 cells. The visible structure is a fixed linear projection from ten spatial coordinates into three.
