Here is one repeating 3d Life pattern, using the rule
 '5,7,4,7'
(A live cell stays alive if it has from 5 through 7 live
neighbors and a dead cell comes alive if it has from
4 through 7 live neighbors)

The initial array has a live cell at the center and one
at each of the six faces of the center cell.

What determines the colour? The number of live neighbours?
Do the dead ones leave a "ghost" behind?

Cells that were just 'born' this generation are green. Survivors from the
last generation are red. And if a cell was alive last generation but just
died, yes
it leaves a ghost (pigment{White transmit .8})}
