Invaders from the computational universe are around us! There are 26,576 (or ) different species. In fact, each invader is a set of vertically symmetric blocs, built up from a binary matrix of size (five rows and three columns).
The invaders look like old-fashioned video game life forms; they have their own unique identification numbers.
Simple rules can be used to generate complex and diverse synthetic artifacts.
