I believe it would be possible, at least in theory. The problem is handling patterns, such as the following, which have ambiguous separations:Rhombic wrote:To account for extra non-totalistic functionality... do you think it would be possible to re-model test 4 based on a conditional evolution tester, from gaps in the generation number and active cell regions? Many of them will collapse if you remove a crucial spark, but if there is at least one way in which you can separate the oscillator into A and B, with the periods of the cells in the initial oscillator being IDENTICAL to (A+B), then it would be trivial.A for awesome wrote:Okay, here's something problematic I found with my test 4 prototype:Code: Select all

NB: this allows non totalistic rules, and the only issues would surely be with the breakup of the oscillators, but this has to be possible anyway.
Code: Select all
x = 47, y = 9, rule = B3/S23
