The function of the universal machine in Rule 110 requires an infinite number of localized patterns to be embedded within an infinitely repeating background pattern. The background pattern is fourteen cells wide and repeats itself exactly every seven iterations. The pattern is 00010011011111, shown as below. | The function of the universal machine in Rule 110 requires an infinite number of localized patterns to be embedded within an infinitely repeating background pattern.

If we filter away this background pattern, there are clearly some particle-like patterns left, which we can see in the below picture. These patterns move and collide according to consistent rules. | If we filter away this background pattern, there are clearly some particle-like patterns left, which we can see in the below picture.
