1# In 2007 Franklin T. Adams-Watters described a CA in which all the action
2# occurs on the edges of a square grid.  Each edge can be on or off and has
3# six neighbors, three at each end.  An edge is on in the next generation
4# iff exactly two of the edges in its seven edge neighborhood (including
5# the edge itself) are on.
6#
7# The LifeOnTheEdge rule has 3 live states with suitable icons that allow
8# any pattern of edges to be created.
9#
10# This pattern shows a still life, some oscillators, a few spaceships and
11# a couple of puffers.
