Patterns in B2a
B2a is a rule with only one pattern: the replicator. It behaves as you would expect, with replicators shuttling and nothing very interesting happening. However, rarely, three replicators collide in just the right way and a perpendicular replicator is born. Unfortunately, stabilizing the reaction with oscillators is no easy task. Anyways, I wonder if anyone here can make interesting patterns in this rule.
Re: Patterns in B2a
I don't think this rule has any interesting patterns at all, you're better off trying rules with potential like this one:
Code: Select all
x = 37, y = 12, rule = B2ak3nr4iy/S

Re: Patterns in B2a
Those too. However, a pattern which provably produces ∞ replicator chains would be very interesting.

Perhaps you could provide a pattern which illustrates what you are trying to construct.fluffykitty wrote:Those too. However, a pattern which provably produces ∞ replicator chains would be very interesting.
A period 504 oscillator which turns on and off the vertical and horizontal replicators:
Code: Select all
x = 68, y = 92, rule = b2a/s
