+========
+
+
+Approach
+--------
+The grid is represented as flat list of sequential ID's, where neighbors are
+calculated using the offset relative to the desired length of the printed
+X-axis. See my prototyping doodles at the bottom.
+
+Each cell is represented as a gen_server process named after its corresponding
+ID on the grid and holding the names of its neighbors in its state record.
+
+Likewise, time is represented as a gen_server process which sends ticks to all
+cells and collects state responses, then proceeds to sort and print the
+resulting board - this constitutes one generation.
+
+Upon receipt of a tick, a cell broadcasts its state to its neighbors, then
+proceeds to collect counterpart broadcasts from its neighbors. Upon collection
+of all broadcasts - it calculates its new state and sends it to the time
+process.
+
+Additionally, there's, a non-essential, observer process, whose job is to
+simply log the statistics for each run of the simulation.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+* Build `make`
+* Run `./bin/life`
