'''Life 1.05''' is a format for storing patterns of cellular automata. It seems to have originated as the native format of version 1.05 of Alan Hensel's program "Life"<ref>/http://www.radicaleye.com/lifepage/#myres; the format is referred to "Hensel's format", and the the link to Hensel's software gives a program called "LIFE 1.06", aligning with [[Life 1.06]]</ref>, presumably some time in the early 1990s<ref>Dates of files in the download of Hensel's program</ref>. In this capacity, it was followed by [[Life 1.06]].
