29-year-old Conway conjecture settled

The first finite stabilisation was 374 cells, but this was promptly reduced to 334 cells by Danielle Conway and then to the 306-cell configuration above by Oscar Cunningham. Of such delicacy that in some essential sense it is its only ancestor -though obviously that sense must allow for fading configurations outside. Experience is a bad guide to large configurations - it. Teaches us perhaps that there is no orphan, that almost all configurations. Die down pretty soon - whereas almost all configurations ARE orphans, of. Sorry - A non-(glider-)constructible configuration might be something. Configuration at the previous time, which itself can only arise from.
