    Rawing: Actually, that's not it either. It can be on, off, on with an ant on it, off with an ant on it.

    There's a binary counter for the x and one for the y coordinate. See those huge things right next to the FILT patterns? That's them.

    How do you determine the position of the ant with coordinating its x and y?

    No it doesn't. With LIFE, every pixel has two states: there's LIFE or there isn't. With langton's ant, a pixel can be on, off or an ant.

    Sentinel: What? No... Conway's Game of Life is different from Langton's Ant.

    @sentinal-5: nope, langton's ant isn't a form of LIFE. Look it up.
