Re: Slow salvo seeds

Post by FractalFusion » March 20th, 2016, 6:22 pm

Some slow salvo seeds (of unknown usefulness) for beehive with tail. The rightmost one adds a tail to anything but is somewhat messy.

It's even better without the block on the right -- that way there's no output glider to catch:

In practice it's not quite good enough to turn the F116 into something we can just add to the "build and forget" list in an almost-Spartan compiler script. There's a leftover beehive that has to be converted into a block after the reaction, That will work fine for this orientation, with all slow gliders coming from the same direction as the trigger glider. But it will be a (solvable) custom design headache for some other orientations.

Probably more important, this reaction can build a standalone F116 conduit without much trouble, but when you connect the output to other conduits in a real self-constructing system, you'll often get more build-order headaches. Here it is superimposed on F117+F116+F117 -- the partly-red eater on the right is unfortunately in the danger zone, so it has to be built after the F116 construction, carefully, with reduced clearance to work with:

There are similar problems for a following F116, F166, F177, Fx77, Fx119, L112, L156, etc. -- everything I checked would create build-order problems, in fact, except for the R64, and for that one you'd have to add another R64, or you'd probably still have build-order headaches for the following conduit.

There could certainly be specific cases where this recipe would be very useful, though. It just seems like it will need human case-by-case analysis rather than an automated compiler to figure that kind of thing out.

Or... actually the right approach is probably to consider different orientations of these larger still lifes to be completely different objects, requiring different recipes. Then a fully automatic compiler could probably be set up to handle this recipe just fine, including its constraints on the build order. It would just be a slightly weird compiler: it would work on circuitry that includes F116 conduits in two specific orientations, but would fail if asked to compile F116s in the other six orientations.

I'm thinking of making an almost-Spartan (apart from the hive-with-tail) 'self-completing syringe', where the first glider to pass through the device synthesises the remainder of the syringe:

Following this, looks like eater3 is now in realm of buildable objects. Here is a recipe that needs only two synchronized gliders:

Code: Select all

x = 53, y = 56, rule = B3/S23

Not too bad! That puts Calcyman's rectifier within reach of slow-salvo construction -- though eater3s are still going to be enough more expensive than eater2s, that I suspect a boojum reflector will end up being cheaper to construct, in most orientations, for most purposes.

(It will be pretty expensive to drop in the loaf behind the main still life, when the construction gliders are coming from the other side, because the seed's active reaction uses a fairly large area on that side.)

The only advantage of rectifier over the boojum is faster recovery. It might turn out critical sometimes... but generally I agree... eater3 is not such missing component. It would be nice to have syringe huge SL in constructable range, I think this is the most missing SL to construct.

Wow -- an eater2 from just five still lifes is pretty darn good.

This is a syringe-friendly variant of the eater2 -- the table support is one cell farther away than normal, from the fishhook eater that is needed nearby. That will make it easier to build the fishhook eater after the eater2, since unfortunately this seed can't quite build the eater first:

I reported the left one here (second code box) with two ways to generate that spark.

From what I remember from going through a lot of the soups in Catagolue that produce a canonical eater2, some 80 to 90% actually come from the right predecessor.

Following the discussion started here, we now have synthesizable Snark! Using only 19 SLs, it's now possible to generate the SL of the snark (snark cost in total becomes 22 SLs which is quite compact, and surprisingly enough in the same range of other stable reflectors):

Code: Select all

x = 149, y = 115, rule = LifeHistory

That is a very cool result. Here is a first attempt at some simplification:

The glider+beehive->LoM conversion works, if other SLs are built later, but it doesn't work with the particular cleanup blinker in chris_c's examples:

Of course! 5 SL for last stage snark this is amazing! We only need 2-3 SLs for the last operation and we get snark practically for free...

This cleanup block leaves just the "usual" debris of a beehive and blinker:

The block can also be moved one down or one left.

A simpler converter for the final step of the slow-salvo synthesis of the Snark. I've only searched for one where the glider comes from the "most natural" direction so far:

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 19, rule = LifeHistory

EDIT: Another one that might be slightly cheaper to build (and the full Snark still life from 9 objects using chris_c's version of the first step):

Code: Select all

x = 37, y = 56, rule = LifeHistory

Because it starts with a honey farm, that seed can be modified to allow triggering from all four directions:

Excellent. So it looks feasible to build the Snark with slow salvo in any orientation. Only the for final orientation shown here does it look necessary to use tricks with orthogonal gliders:
