The monkey-at-typewriter symbol includes the trolls
and vandals as
contributors, not just the dutiful drones, as they do keep articles on

Hmm. We'd want one that generated increasing complexity; I know there
are simple patters (like the "biloaf") that evolve into a glider gun.
Are there any patterns that generate a continuing sequence of guns?
Another suggestion in the eusocial-insect class: termites eating
through an old library dropping miscellaneous scraps of wisdom.
