Sierpinski's triangles generated from cellular automaton in Golly

[aigg...@gmail.com]

Hello, I have recently constructed a cellular automaton in Golly, with a starting population of roughly 899 million, that produces Shierpinski's triangles. Although it starts as clustered columns of cells it generates fractal triangles.

Has anyone seen or created this phenomena? I showed it to a couple people who were very excited by it. I am pretty excited by it as well and would love some feedback from the C.A. community.

Thanks,

Could be interesting, can you upload the Golly file and rule set somewhere?

Yes, I know it from Rule 90:
