Result 01: Basic Multi-Seed
Notes:
- As with the Result 00 group, the single seed and two separated seeds show the least impact.
- Single seed: all develop a single diagonal stripe because the only rule which will invoke an active cell is 4:100 . With the Result 01 group, the invoking of 4:100 acts like a single seed in each row, except shifted to the right.
- Two separated seeds: In all cases 4:100 is invoked. When 5:101 is invoked, the combination of the two rules create a two separated seed condition shifted to the right. This is an aabb.. pattern.
- The two seed and three seed conditons also follow a similar pattern to the Result 00 group. There is a growing complexity which resets after eight rulesets.
Rulesets and Seeds
The sequences for each seed condition are:
Two seeds together: 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, S, 1, S, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, S, 1, S
Two seeds separated: 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1
Three seeds: 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, S, 2, S
This chart compares the patterns displayed based on the four seed conditions with the use of each rule in generating the pattern.

The first observation is that while three rules (7:111, 6:110, and 3:011) are required to form a column stripe (CS), a column can be formed with two rules (6:110 and 3:011). See the difference in rules used with the two-cell seed and the three-cell seed and the and the cases where a column stripe appears.
A second observation is the nature of the repetion within each seed sequence.
- The single-cell sequence has a monotonous repetition.
- In the two-cell, the sequence repeats after 8 rulesets. There is a minor repeat within the major repeat sequence where the seond set of four increments (0 -> 1, 1 -> CS).
- In the separated two-cell, the sequence repeats every four rulesets.
- In the three-cell, there is not a precise repetition. There is a general repetition after eight rulesets. There is an anomoly at Wolf-072: two cells become active, but only in the first row. Aside from this, the two-cell and three-cell sequences follow a similar pattern, with the three-cell incremented one step up from the two-cell.
