    • 1991 March 28, Bill Gosper, “on Life (and Death)”, in comp.theory.cell-automata‎ (Usenet):
      About a year and a half ago, Schroeppel and Hickerson found a bunch of patterns with very small predecessor counts. These are used as modules in existence proofs for GOE's within various rectangles, some quite cozy.
    • 1999 April 1, Tim Tyler, “proof for garden of eden in GOL ?”, in comp.theory.cell-automata‎ (Usenet):
      This describes briefly the discovery of the first GOL GOE by Roger Banks, saying: "[he] used sophisticated mathematical techniques to prove that a certain 9-by-33 rectangular pattern is itself a Garden-of-Eden pattern."
    • 2008 October 22, Dave Greene, “State wrt "Garden of Eden"in Conway's "Game of Life"”, in comp.theory.cell-automata‎ (Usenet):
      As far as I know, even a definite result for the 6x6 case would be progress. The most recent investigation of GoEs that I know about was some interesting work that Donald Knuth recently did in passing for his upcoming Volume 4 of _The Art of Computer Programming_, using binary decision diagrams.
