Ok, first of all, I'd like to note, that I think the result most likely is somewhere else. as in, a burn program generates a separate string of data from processing itself. this seems likely, as burn seems like a 2d Von Neumann cellular automata, however 110 is 1d(kinda). this could also explain why there's two color channels. one may be more oriented on looking at the program itself, while the other affects this other string of data(that I will call the stream from now on). I may even suggest, that cells that have a number in the right channel affect the data stream, one's that have in the left affect the actual CA input, and the ones with both bridge the gap. however, I am not suggesting cells with only a right signal are not affect-ed by the CA, only do not affect it themselves.

I'd also like to note, that I do not believe these are wires. it seems more to me like sorts of "matrixes". squares where information are held, that may be defined to be larger than only a Von Neumann neighborhood.

The "disruption" ais523 mentioned is most likely an error of some sort(there is a chance they were doing it manually). I think it's more likely that the trigger for the program simply was running it(alike a quad).

The infinite tiling most likely expanded over time(because rule 110). there was most likely a single column of the program going downwards. then one row down, there is another one to the left (again, like rule 110).

I do not think the color symmetry is incorrect. it seems quite strange and unreasonable.

For the fact that "The algorithm for updating cells mostly depended on the differences between values of colour channels between adjacent cells", and I really do think so too! because then data stream info affects other data stream info cells, and the same with CA cells(and the ones that have both). the difference of affect in small range's to big range's(which makes sense because there's so many 00 cells), that too works.

for the reversibility, this fits in with my model, because I believe that once one full program has done its job, that when they all go to zero, and when one row of rule 110 has completed, then all of the program segments would've gone to zero on a row.

I don't really trust to flood fill thing, not fully. I think that it was not a line, but a matrix. Though I don't think it was super frequent, I think that just comes from the speed of which one segment of the program goes full zero.

For the hole wires thing, I think thats just a way to think of these matrixes, and may be specifics of how the function

And yea, the second to last, and the last, are obvious.
