Methuselahs
Here are two famous Methuselahs1 -- Acorn and R-Pentomino.
Acorn
Here it is, a nice little acorn. Let's see what it does.
000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000100000000000000000 000000000000000001000000000000000 000000000000001100111000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000
Ah, that overflowed the field of play, revealing the somewhat buggy toroidal universe in which the acorn was trapped. This time I'll put the acorn in a bigger field. And hopefully this time it's be big enough.

How do we know that you and I aren't just strangle moebius loops in the fabric of chance?

We don't. Keep it weird.
R-Pentomino
Pentomino as in "Five"-o... mino, and mino as in... minotaur, meaning, thus, five bulls. And R for, I guess it's Roger Rabbit.
I'm told to give this one a lot of room right from the start.
