Find a non-explosive B1e rule WHERE LINEAR GROWTH IS RARE

[testitemqlstudop]

...since B1c is impossible.

(Condition added since B1e/S12 isn't what I had in mind.)

Ready? Go!

Depends on your definition of explosive, but B1e/S12 is pretty much limited to linear growth - present for (nearly) all soups. There's also the occasional linear replicator thrown in for variety.

Edit: It appears to be barely apgsearchable at just under 1 soup/s, but I wouldn't bother uploading a haul because it's sure to be pretty boring.

My best attempt (not a particularly good one, but it illustrates a potential path for constructing such a rule):

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 16, rule = B1e2ce3eny4jkr5cny6c/S2n3cnq4n

Not particularly, as far as I can tell — the added B8 transition doesn't actually seem to kill off any of the problematic chaotic growth engines that keep emerging.

I know this doesn’t help but uhh...
rake.

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 6, rule = B1e2ce3eny4jkr5cny6c8/S2n3cnq4n

Guns are pretty common (there's a 2-barrel one in the above soup) but they don't really do much aside from create intricate B-type machine-like structures.

EDIT: 4c/12 diagonal rake which probably makes some infinite-novelty-type stuff:

Both IceNine and the diagonal rakes can be killed by adding B6n, but the guns are still there.

Guns are still common, and there's at least one new one, which I haven't been able to isolate. Here's something that works in the other rules, too:

The B6n version looks apgsearchable, will try.
EDIT: It isnt, but I dont know why[/code]

Hmm, even one soup with a single p6 gun can take apgluxe v5.x almost a minute to census. I'm really not sure what's going on there.

[testitemqlstudop]

Perhaps 1.x will be quicker for these kinds of rules?

[wildmyron]

Perhaps 1.x will be quicker for these kinds of rules?

With the default settings it doesn't fare too well either. With relaxed stabilisation parameters I managed to get up to ~1 soup/s. After about 1k soups the census consisted of flotillae of p1 and p2 photons, various p6 guns, and the p34 gun.

The closest I've got is this rule, which has a semi-common gun, and some annoying, stupid rakes that I hate with a passion:

In addition, in this rule, no formation of two dots will create a gun, no matter how hard you try.

Oooh, Dani's rule is great. In apgluxe 5 it clocks in at ~60 soups/second (4 cores). So far apgluxe hasn't found a natural YL, so I guess this wins (for now, until someone finds a rule with quicker apgsearch speed.)

I have reasons to think that apgluxe's YL detection is both b3s23-specific and profoundly slow, because for both non-explosive b2a, b1e, and an assortment of other rules, apgsearch spends a horrible amount of time just catagoling YL.
