Let's see if I understood this right. For the Betweenness Amazing Dragons rule:
* Compute the "betweenness" of each living cell, which is 1 divided by its degree. Cells which are not connected to anything have infinite/undefined betweenness, but it doesn't matter.
* Then, for each cell, sum up the betweenness of its connected neighbours.
* If the total betweenness of a dead cell is in the range [(1.3, 3.6)], it is born and becomes alive at the next generation.
* If the total betweenness of a living cell is in the range [(0.9, 2.6)], it survives and remains alive to the next generation.
* Exception: any cell with 0, 1, 7 or 8 neighbours (in total, ignoring betweenness) dies anyway after the rules above were applied.
... That's not quite right, there's some references to "eligibility" that I can't make sense of. What else am I missing?
