A variation of Conway's Game of Life (LIFE) is presented in this paper. The
rules of LIFE remain unaltered in the variation we name VIDA, but, unlike
in LIFE, in VIDA a cell is featured by its most frequent state, not necessa
rily the last one. As an overall conclusion, it is claimed that the conside
ration of historic memory of past states has an inertial (or conservating)
effect. Thus, small cluster of live cells will not behave so vividly in VID
A as in LIFE could, but greater clusters tend to present higher persistence
.
