COMMENT

Here's the font that's used; a single empty column is used between adjacent digits. The same digit design was selected 39 years ago by Jonathan Vos Post.

ooo.o.ooo.ooo.o.o.ooo.ooo.ooo.ooo.ooo

o.o.o...o...o.o.o.o...o.....o.o.o.o.o

o.o.o.ooo.ooo.ooo.ooo.ooo...o.ooo.ooo

o.o.o.o.....o...o...o.o.o...o.o.o...o

ooo.o.ooo.ooo...o.ooo.ooo...o.ooo.ooo

The sequence is infinite; e.g. any number whose decimal expansion begins and ends with 14 and contains only the digits 1, 4 and 8 dies in 9 generations. It has density zero, because any number containing the digit string 14405930 emits a lightweight spaceship which can't be stopped by whatever the rest of the number produces.
