The best I've come up with on 44p5h2v0:

Code: Select all

x = 81, y = 32, rule = B3/S23

Here's a predecessor that's probably just as unsynthesizable:

The only decision I made was made
of flowers, to jump universes to one of springtime in
a land of former winter, where no invisible walls stood,
or could stand for more than a few hours at most...

apgsearch suggests a cheaper direct syntheses for the hat siamese hat base. This removes a minimum of one glider, but it depends on how expensive the two blocks and beehive are to make.

Code: Select all

x = 27, y = 19, rule = B3/S23

No need for the blocks. two-glider-collisions.rle in Golly is one of the most useful things going!

Code: Select all

x = 25, y = 17, rule = B3/S23

Ah, yes, Nothing 1:2 from the glider bible. Good catch.

On the 58P5H1V1 front:

Here is an interesting predecessor:

Code: Select all

x = 0, y = 0, rule = B3/S23

For siamese hat 7 enough gliders:

Code: Select all

x = 40, y = 23, rule = B3/S23

Excellent. To help with keeping all these syntheses well managed I wrote a script which takes a sequence of incremental constructions and produces a full synthesis by the side. I don't know if something like this exists already. To use:

1. Make a selection.
2. Enter x-distance between construction sites. Must be a uniform step and assumes constant y-value.
3. Enter the amount to offset each construction when making the full synthesis. ie. gliders from the nth site will be moved backwards by n * glider_step cells.

The detection of which gliders belong to which construction site is not very robust. If the x-distance between a glider and the left hand side of the selection is X and n * site_step <= X < (n+1) * site_step then it assumes that the glider belongs to the nth construction.

In the example of the Weekender below the step between construction sites is 80 cells so I selected an area that went about 40 cells to the left of the first construction site. The glider step I used was 30 cells. First I tried 20 but that caused collisions.

Here is the script:

Code: Select all

import golly as g

def make_target(cells):

    range_x = range(min(cells[::2])  - 1, max(cells[::2])  + 2)
    range_y = range(min(cells[1::2]) - 1, max(cells[1::2]) + 2)

    cells = zip(cells[::2], cells[1::2])

    rect = set((x, y) for x in range_x for y in range_y)

    for x, y in cells:
        rect.remove((x, y))

    for i, j in [(0,0), (0,-1), (-1,-1),(-1,0)]:
        rect.remove((range_x[i], range_y[j]))

    x0, y0 = cells[0]

    return [(x-x0, y-y0) for x, y in cells], [(x-x0, y-y0) for x, y in rect]
        

def add_it(objs, s, dx, dy):
    cells = g.parse(s)
    for i in range(4):
        objs.append((make_target(cells), dx, dy))
        cells = g.evolve(cells, 1)

objs = []

add_it(objs, '3o$2bo$bo!', 1, -1)
add_it(objs, '3o$o$bo!', -1, -1)
add_it(objs, 'bo$2bo$3o!', 1, 1)
add_it(objs, 'bo$o$3o!', -1, 1)
add_it(objs, '3o$o2bo$o$o$bobo!', 0, -2)

rect = g.getselrect()
if not rect:
    g.exit("No selection")


site_step = int(g.getstring("Enter step between construction sites"))
glider_step = int(g.getstring("Enter glider step"))
offset = 200

cells = g.getcells(g.getselrect())
cells = zip(cells[::2], cells[1::2])

for x0, y0 in cells:
    for ((wanted, unwanted), dx, dy) in objs:
        if all(g.getcell(x0+x, y0+y) for x, y in wanted):
            if not any(g.getcell(x0+x, y0+y) for x, y in unwanted):
                steps = (x0 - rect[0]) // site_step
                shift_x = offset + steps * (site_step + dx * glider_step)
                shift_y = steps * dy * glider_step
                for x, y in wanted:
                    g.setcell(x0+x-shift_x, y0+y-shift_y, 1)
Here is a continuous Weekender synthesis. Glider count seems to be 89.

Not that I know of. The script works great -- thanks for posting it!

A 24-cell glider step is the lowest working setting for the weekender synthesis. Maybe the next improvement is to do a binary search when adding each stage, to get the minimum spacing for the full recipe. This particular synthesis is compressible at least down to p572, though no doubt it's possible to cut it down quite a bit more, probably to below p500:

Code: Select all

Ah, binary search, good idea. I thought about doing something like this but only with a linear search. The thing that put me off was worrying about intermediate targets that were P2. With a binary search this trouble would be elegantly avoided because you would only be changing glider phase in the final step of the search. I think I will start working on an update...

In other news, the Weekender synthesis can be reduced by one glider because the two-glider boat synth works in the penultimate step. I pessimistically assumed otherwise and went straight for a 3-glider version.

I would do a linear step while validating the output still remains valid.

Regarding binary. From experience there is no need to do binary in such systems. I would use binary with something that has a chance to have more than million items in it.

It's not quite a cure-all solution. A binary search may occasionally jump past a "forbidden zone" -- a late spark that interferes with an incoming glider, but doesn't cause trouble if the glider has already gone by.

Could happen with off-to-the-side crossing gliders also. So sometimes the binary search will find the absolute closest packing, and sometimes it will just find the closest packing before the interference, and it won't notice that there's a tighter option farther along.

In most cases it will probably only take a few seconds to test-run every possible timing for each stage -- could run all the tests in parallel, I suppose, vaguely along the lines of apgsearch. So a binary search may be overkill anyway.

I haven't dared to think about what interesting combinations might be possible now, with all these new ship syntheses suddenly showing up. What happens if you send a weekender to catch a loafer? Maybe our most efficient mechanism for reaching a long distance with a universal constructor would now be to build a 25P3H1V0.2 and send an LWSS to stop it, after a long delay:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 34, rule = B3/S23

Probably that would imply a follow-up construction recipe using slow *WSSes instead of slow gliders, but that's an idea that needs investigating now anyway.

Or... are there any new options for creating a self-replicating traveling signal loop now? A very long loop full of *WSSes chaperoned by weekenders, let's say, or a pair of such loops, interacting somehow to produce a slow salvo that builds another copy of the loop(s)? ... Ouch, that would have to be a very large object.

Why not a loafer? We already have a slow salvo recipe for it. If we want the spaceship to be as fast as possible while still allowing the LWSS to catch it, then use a 30P5H2V0 instead.

Which gets me thinking: what about using a blinker fuse or something?

That was a pretty good guess. I updated the script and it thinks that the synthesis will work at p498. Here is the synthesis and the pattern it was derived from:

Code: Select all

x = 2715, y = 720, rule = B3/S23

Note the hack of making a Weekender eater at the begininning. It means that the first synthesis is a bit of a mess but the second synthesis should be repeatable at p498. The search works by doing a binary search to find a plausible minium delay and then tries to advance the gliders by an extra 50 ticks in case there are any gaps afterwards. Here is the code:

Code: Select all

import golly as g

def make_target(cells):

    range_x = range(min(cells[::2])  - 1, max(cells[::2])  + 2)
    range_y = range(min(cells[1::2]) - 1, max(cells[1::2]) + 2)

    cells = zip(cells[::2], cells[1::2])

    rect = set((x, y) for x in range_x for y in range_y)

    for x, y in cells:
        rect.remove((x, y))

    for i, j in [(0,0), (0,-1), (-1,-1),(-1,0)]:
        rect.remove((range_x[i], range_y[j]))

    x0, y0 = cells[0]

    return [(x-x0, y-y0) for x, y in cells], [(x-x0, y-y0) for x, y in rect]
        

def add_it(objs, s, dx, dy):
    cells = g.parse(s)
    for i in range(4):
        objs.append((make_target(cells), dx, dy))
        cells = g.evolve(cells, 1)

def delay_construction(obj_list, delay):

    pat = []
    phase = -delay % 4
    n = (delay + phase) // 4

    for cells, dx, dy in obj_list:
        pat += g.transform(g.evolve(cells, phase), -n * dx, -n * dy)

    return pat

def post_state(current_state, obj_list, delay):
    new_state = delay_construction(obj_list, delay)
    return g.evolve(current_state + new_state, delay + 256)

objs = []

add_it(objs, '3o$2bo$bo!', 1, -1)
add_it(objs, '3o$o$bo!', -1, -1)
add_it(objs, 'bo$2bo$3o!', 1, 1)
add_it(objs, 'bo$o$3o!', -1, 1)
add_it(objs, '3o$o2bo$o$o$bobo!', 0, -2)

rect = g.getselrect()
if not rect:
    g.exit("No selection")

site_step = int(g.getstring("Enter step between construction sites"))
offset = 200

cells = g.getcells(g.getselrect())
cells = zip(cells[::2], cells[1::2])

obj_lists = []

for x0, y0 in cells:
    for ((wanted, unwanted), dx, dy) in objs:
        if all(g.getcell(x0+x, y0+y) for x, y in wanted):
            if not any(g.getcell(x0+x, y0+y) for x, y in unwanted):

                n = (x0 - rect[0]) // site_step

                for _ in range(n-len(obj_lists)+1):
                    obj_lists.append([])
                
                out_cells = []
                for x, y in wanted:
                    out_cells.append(x0 + x- n * site_step)
                    out_cells.append(y0 + y)
                
                obj_lists[n].append((out_cells, dx, dy))

best_delay = 64
current_state = delay_construction(obj_lists[0], best_delay)

for obj_list in obj_lists[1:]:
    step = 512
    delay = best_delay + step

    valid_state = post_state(current_state, obj_list, delay)

    while step:
        if post_state(current_state, obj_list, delay - step) == valid_state:
            delay -= step
        step //= 2
        
    best_delay = delay
    for i in range(1, 50):
        if post_state(current_state, obj_list, delay - i) == valid_state:
            best_delay = delay - i

    current_state += delay_construction(obj_list, best_delay)

g.putcells(current_state, -offset, 0)
Suggestions are welcome, especially regarding the hack with the eaters.

Re: Small Spaceship Syntheses

dvgrn wrote: It's not quite a cure-all solution. A binary search may occasionally jump past a "forbidden zone" -- a late spark that interferes with an incoming glider, but doesn't cause trouble if the glider has already gone by.
You were definitely right about that. The reason I was having so many weird problems last time is because the lookahead value of 50 in the linear search phase was not enough to produce optimally packed syntheses. I have increased that to 100 and now the first synthesis is always likely to be good enough to repeat at the minimum rate.

The script now asks for the site separation and the rate at which to repeat the synthesis. Here is the output with repeat rate = 498. It is interesting to note that the first glider collision is actually between a pair of gliders from the 4th construction site!

Code: Select all

x = 1547, y = 817, rule = B3/S23

Here is the code. It should now work with gliders and LWSS from all directions (EDIT: and now sends progress data to the GUI as suggested by dvgrn).

Code: Select all

    range_x = range(min(cells[::2])  - 1, max(cells[::2])  + 2)

    for x, y in cells:
        rect.remove((x, y))

    for i, j in [(0,0), (0,-1), (-1,-1),(-1,0)]:
        rect.remove((range_x[i], range_y[j]))

    x0, y0 = cells[0]

    return [(x-x0, y-y0) for x, y in cells], [(x-x0, y-y0) for x, y in rect]

Here is a slightly tweaked 65 glider synthesis of 30P5H2V0 @ p432. Notice how the boat synthesis has been brought forward by quite a long distance:

EDIT: Hmmm... looks like there is an annoying bug in the script still. The first construction gives a P2 target but the "P2-ness" is irrelevant until the final construction. Conclusion: the script will not vary any of the glider phases and so there could be a slack of 1 tick that is unused between each construction. Annoying.

Re: Small Spaceship Syntheses

Post by dvgrn » February 10th, 2015, 3:58 pm

Has anyone had a look at constructing one of glider_rider's pufferfish spaceships? This one has the largest vertical distance between the two pufferfish, though a couple of the others are one cell farther apart from each other:

Conveniently, as shown here, the front and back halves of the ship can be separated by an arbitrary distance (and timing), so it will probably be trivial to adjust the construction to get any spaceship bit-count you might want, at no additional cost in gliders.

The four "companion" objects are interesting. There's a two-glider synthesis for the bo$3o$ob2o$b3o! phase, but it's not compatible with an existing pufferfish block fuse. I'm guessing there's a three-glider variant that can add a companion to one side of a block fuse, but what about the two in the middle?

I've been thinking about writing a quick enumeration program to look for a slightly simpler version of this ship -- two pufferfish, two companions on the outside edges, and just one more running up the middle. It seems unlikely that this will produce a clean ship, but not absolutely impossible as far as I can tell.

I haven't investigated the best way to make the puffers yet, but it should be doable.

EDIT: Here is a version with the LWSS moved one cell to the left so that there is no timing dependence between the LWSS and the puffers.

With talk of a possible Weekender gun in other threads I made a slight tweak to the synthesis that gets the repeat time down to 496. Should I be disappointed with the reward/effort ratio or pleased that it makes the repeat time a multiple of 8?

One of the things I tried first was to make the hive in step 4 from the smoke in step 3 plus a couple of gliders. That would have given a 2 glider reduction but I couldn't make it work.

The p496 gun is noticeably smaller than the p498 gun, especially if we replace that transparent-blinker Pi-to-G nozzle with the smaller one I discovered this morning, so, good job.

Ah, well I just managed to reduce further to p475. At that rate I think the p480 is probably too convenient to ignore?
