SHORTFALLS. “A Gemini spaceship is not a replicator, any more than a glider or other small spaceship is! A replicator is a pattern that makes copies of itself: the total number of copies of the pattern has to increase over time. If a pattern is “used up” in some way by the copying process, and is not capable of completing another cycle of replication after the first, then to be a true replicator it would have to produce two or more children simultaneously. Otherwise the pattern falls into some other category.”
