Brain's Brain cellular automata

(*As a tip for those who don't know cellular automata notation, I explain it in another one of my posts called "32 Coolest Cellular Automatas")
I have talked about many cellular automata and many ways to use cellular automata but what I haven't talked about is multi-state cellular automata. Brain's Brain is a type of multi-state cellular automata in which it is supposed to mimic the firing of neurons in the brain. the rule pattern is (B2/S/3/M). This means that a cell will become alive if it has exactly 2 neighbors it will become alive and no matter what it will not survive. Sounds normal so far but here is where the cool part happens, when an alive cell dies it goes to a state of dying that turns into the dead state.
This sounds like an insignificant change but when you rule the algorithms with 2 and 3 states it causes wildly different results which is the case with many cellular automata. The reason that this makes such a difference is that the dying cell is like a placeholder. In a state of limbo that isn't counted as alive but can't turn alive like a dead cell causing the difference. It is a hard thing to explain but when you see it you will know, I'll link a website for it down below but anyway I think this is where I wrap it up. Thank you all for reading and in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
