Good idea. Although, from the little exploration I did with examples for small n, given the low stopping times, the behaviour was very boring. Nothing necessarily interesting. But then again, I didn't explore it exhaustively.

Warning: huge amounts of compute time have been spent trying to find a counter example to this conjecture, which almost everyone believes is true. I kept my office warm this way one winter. It has been described as a way to turn pure Platonic mathematics into heat.
Always interesting to try to visualize something though.
Ps -- I implemented hashlife one time. Still amazed someone came up with that algorithm
