Minimum size for a speed

Posted: February 28th, 2017, 11:07 pm
by Mr. Missed Her
I've had this idea for a while that the smallest possible spaceship for speed c/x has a maximum bounding box area of log2(x). More specifically, (less sure of this) running the pattern in b12345678/s012345678 for one generation will give you a minimum of log2(x) cells. The idea is this: the cells involved in the spaceship can be regarded as information, and the densest way to store information with a bunch of things with two states is in binary. So for an oscillator or spaceship, the maximum number of phases is 2^[number of cells on in at least one phase]. And a spaceship has to move by at least one cell over the course of those phases, giving it a minimum speed of c/[number of phases]. Anyways, a more refined and accurate conjecture would be:

In a semi-totalistic rule with two states, the minimum size of a spaceship of speed c/x is log2(x), size being defined by the number of cells that are on at some point through the spaceship's cycle.

PS: the absolute minimum cell count of a spaceship* is 3. That's when the spaceship's asymmetrical enough to travel in just one direction.
*In a semi-totalistic rule with two states.

I mean, you could start a diagonal type thread if you wanted? I was planning on doing that but I'm disgustingly lazy.

This can be improved upon to make its period 1. I don't quite understand rule syntax, but the rule in which the same ship is period 1: a rule with no survival conditions, a two neighbor on birth condition, and a two cells on opposite sides of the cell birth condition.

The problem with this is that information is stored both in ON and OFF cells, so the "size" isn't minimum population but bounding box area, specifically envelope area.
Take a look at the c/5648 in B3457/S4568.

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 14, rule = B3457/S4568
4bo2bo$4b4o$2b8o$2b2ob2ob2o$obobo2bobobo$2ob6ob2o$ob3o2b3obo$3ob4ob3o$
2ob6ob2o$b3o4b3o$b3o4b3o$3b2o2b2o$3bo4bo$5b2o!

The cells in the pattern change pseudorandomly and changes gradually shift the shape forward. If we let A be the total number of cells that are ON at least once in a single period, then each of the A cells can be either on or off, giving 2^A, which is greater than 2^P, considering that some cells are OFF at any given time. In this case, the minimum speed would be c/2^162 (~1.7e-49 cells/gen).
BUT WAIT! The total number of unknown cells can't be 182 in this case, because the ship is even-bilateral symmetric, so the actual minimum speed is 2^-81 (~4.1e-25 cells/gen).
This is still slower than your bound of at least 2^-78.
Similar modification is required for odd symmetric (with variation to prevent half-counting middle cells) and glide symmetry (A = total number of cells ON at any point in a half-period).

Your totally right. Only thing was, I meant the number of cells you'd get if you overlapped all the phases on top of each other and then counted.

Code: Select all

x = 67, y = 18, rule = LifeHistory

It should be true that we need only to count half of a symmetrical ship, because if the ship's symmetrical, both halves are doing the exact same thing. (Count the cells on the axis of symmetry, because they don't have a matching row of cells.) Same general thing for glide-symmetric. Now, I was going for "what would the minimum size for a certain speed spaceship be" and not "what would the minimum speed for a certain spaceship be," but your post does point out that the smallest spaceships for a certain speed should be asymmetrical.

that's fantastic, one more checked off the list.


Of course, there's infinitely more of them.

...how are you finding these so fast? Is there some secret database I don't know about?

I have a huge list of spaceships, most from the glider database.

right then

Is there a script or search engine trick that can let you look up any period and speed on the glider database?

Re: Perfect Orthogonal Speeds in Life-like CA

No, I just looked through thousands of rules, because I had a lot of time. It is kind of ridiculous, but I have like 200 speeds, with many at 5 cell ships. A script could be written for it, David Eppstein has a raw data file, that with a simple python program, it could probably read. I tried to write the script on an IPad, but it couldn't process that much (go figure).

EDIT: Actually, you can use the search on page stuff on the file to find certain speeds, you just have to know the notation.

So you have all speeds up to c/40? That's a pretty insanely expansive glider collection. Not bad.


I also managed to find a c/55 while raking through the threads here in OCA since i took a massive break and want to see what went on. It's p110 though, so will need a reduced period version.

Actually, I was missing a c/39, but I did a search on the raw data and found one, it is fast, and I am planning to add more to my list.

EDIT, a c/55, only one on the database that is not higher period:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 9, rule = B3457/S158
