%F Conjectures from _Chai Wah Wu_, Jun 15 2020: (Start)

%F a(n) = 111*a(n-2) - 1110*a(n-4) + 1000*a(n-6) for n > 5.

%F G.f.: (1000*x^5 - 1000*x^3 + 100*x^2 - 1)/(1000*x^6 - 1110*x^4 + 111*x^2 - 1). (End)

%t CAStep[rule_,a_]:=Map[rule[[10-#]]&,ListConvolve[{{0,2,0},{2,1,2},{0,2,0}},a,2],{2}];

%t code=65; stages=128;

%t rule=IntegerDigits[code,2,10];

%t g=2*stages+1; (* Maximum size of grid *)

%t a=PadLeft[{{1}},{g,g},0,Floor[{g,g}/2]]; (* Initial ON cell on grid *)

%t ca=a;

%t ca=Table[ca=CAStep[rule,ca],{n,1,stages+1}];

%t PrependTo[ca,a];

%t (* Trim full grid to reflect growth by one cell at each stage *)

%t k=(Length[ca[[1]]]+1)/2;

%t ca=Table[Table[Part[ca[[n]][[j]],Range[k+1-n,k-1+n]],{j,k+1-n,k-1+n}],{n,1,k}];

%t Table[FromDigits[Part[ca[[i]][[i]],Range[1,i]],10], {i,1,stages-1}]

%Y Cf. A278754, A278755, A278756.
