contents Previous publications by the authors put forward the argument that Lifelike Cellular Automata can be treated as a bona fide example of livingness in and of themselves, not simply a toy analogue to biological life. Traits known to be indicative of biological life, biosignatures, were identified in informational form as particular outlier traits of the ruleset for the lifelike cellular automata known as Conways Game of Life. This publication reverses that logic, looking at a known outlier trait of Conways Game of Life, its very long-lasting evolutions, and using this to point towards temporal retention as an informational biosignature concept.
