I've been looking for interesting rule sets for 4D boards. So far I've found two:

• B21-23/S9-22 often stabilizes leaving large pieces of residue, with some occasional oscillators. I haven't found any gliders yet. You can reduce the clutter by removing some of the lower survival numbers.
• B41-57/S40-80 is similar to "Rivers" and "Wallace 2" in that it sometimes leaves large, stable structures. But usually it just dissolves to nothing.

The algorithm runs fairly fast and creates zero garbage. Unity, however, does not. Rendering is by far the largest bottleneck and the performance really suffers on larger configurations.
