    Since GoL particles usually live off each other, and the dying particle cannot be counted as a neighbor AND nothing can occupy that space for those 6 frames until the particle dies, the next STAR particle that touches it will die. Then the cycle repeats, and in the end, the IRON survives.

    STAR is a LIFE type element. LIFE elements have a GoL-like ruleset that define how they will survive, defined by a string, or "rulestring". STAR's rulestring is as follows : 3456/278/6. The 6 at the end means that when one of those particles die, they stay for 6 frames and leave.
