%N The number of columns with alive cells in the n-th generation of cyclic sequence of patterns given in A179412, played in Conway's Game of Life on the 8x8 toroidal grid.
%C Period 66. The sequence begins (from offset 0) with its lexicographically earliest rotation.
%C The mean value of terms in the whole period of 66 is 6.84848.
%H A. Karttunen, <a href="/A179409/a179409.ijs.txt">J-program for computing the terms of this sequence</a>
%e See illustrations in A179412. In the first four patterns there are alive cells in 3, 4, 5, 5 and 5 columns, thus a(0)=3, a(1)=4, and a(2)=a(3)=5.
%Y See also A179412-A179414.
