Is this some kind of code, or just ascii art tweets with links that loop?
I don't get it, it's just a tweet with ascii art for GoL?
The tweet contains the first phase of a 2-periodic oscillator. It links to a tweet of the second phase, which links back to the first tweet.

It's 2 mutually recursive tweets.

The difficulty is linking two tweets to each other. You don't know the url of a tweet when posting, but there are patterns in how the ID is assigned and it's possible to tweet likely guesses until you have success.
the second link already seems to be broken
