  "abstract": "I explore Conway's Game of Life (GoL) on six composite Archimedean lattices. On the Kagome lattice, on which small gliders and puffers appear particularly frequently across inputs, I use the output of a symmetry-constrained evolutionary search algorithm to construct a novel glider gun. The glider gun comprises four interacting bouncers and stably emits a small glider every 276th generation. Serving as an extension of classical GoL, I also propose cells with a phase degree of freedom and an associated local phase rule, which on the Kagome lattice is demonstrated to host phase-periodic gliders. This enables the possibility of phase-sensitive and interference-based computations.",
