We take the f.c.c. lattice to consist of the points (X,Y,Z) of Z^3 with X+Y+Z even.
We start with a single ON cell at the origin.
A cell is turned ON if exactly one of its twelve neighbors is ON. An ON cell remains ON forever.
Analog of A147562, which is corresponding sequence for the square lattice Z^2.
