In Conway's Game of Life, a breeder is a pattern that exhibits quadratic growth, by generating multiple copies of a secondary pattern, each of which then generates multiple copies of a tertiary pattern. A gun than constructs more guns, while shifting the positions of its spaceship streams as to not have the guns collide. (The primary and secondary patterns are stationary, while the tertiary patterns move.) A spacefiller (which also undergoes quadratic growth) may be thought of as another class of breeder. However it differs from a true breeder in that it expands a single island of cells, rather than creating independent objects.
