2. (cellular automata) Initialism of Garden of Eden.Examples: "About a year and a half ago, Schroeppel and Hickerson found a bunch of patterns with very small predecessor counts. These are used as modules in existence proofs for GOE's within various rectangles, some quite cozy."; "This describes briefly the discovery of the first GOL GOE by Roger Banks, saying: "[he] used sophisticated mathematical techniques to prove that a certain 9-by-33 rectangular pattern is itself a Garden-of-Eden pattern.""; "As far as I know, even a definite result for the 6x6 case would be progress. The most recent investigation of GoEs that I know about was some interesting work that Donald Knuth recently did in passing for his upcoming Volume 4 of _The Art of Computer Programming_, using binary decision diagrams."abbreviationalt-ofinitialism
