3-state isotropic von Neumann rulespace

Post by muzik » January 31st, 2019, 8:28 am

Inspired by Mirek's Neumann Binary rulespace, I decided to create a notation for isotropic rules using three states in a range-1 von Neumann neighbourhood:

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 53, rule = vrulespacething
6.3C.2C2.3C.C3.3C.C.C$6.C.C2.C2.C3.C5.C.C.C$6.C.C2.C2.3C.C3.3C.3C$6.C
.C2.C2.C3.C5.C3.C$6.3C.3C.3C.3C.3C3.C4$7.C4$.3C$.C9.A3.A3.A3.A3.A$.C.
C7.C3.CA2.C3.CA.ACA$.C.C15.A3.A3.A$.3C3$.3C19.A3.A$.C.C19.CA.BCA$.3C
19.B3.A3$.3C$.C.C19.A3.B$.3C19.CB.BCA$.C21.B3.A$.3C2$.C.C$.C.C11.A3.A
$.3C11.CB2.C$.C.C15.B$.C.C2$2.C$2.C20.A3.A$2.C20.CB.BCB$2.C20.A3.A$2.
C2$C3.C$2C.2C18.B3.B$C.C.C18.CA.BCB$C3.C18.B3.A$C3.C2$.3C$.C.C7.B3.B
3.B3.B3.B$.3C7.C3.CB2.C3.CB.BCB$.C17.B3.B3.B$.C!
G - green, O - one, E - edge, H - half, L - line, M - most, P - pure/purple.

Rulestrings would work as follows, using similar negation and combination operators to 2-state isotropic: BA(birth conditions for state 1)/SA(survival conditions for state 1)/OA(conditions where a state 1 cell overwrites a state 2 cell)/BB(birth conditions for state 2)/SB(survival conditions for state 2)/OB(conditions where a state 2 cell overwrites a state 1 cell). For example: BAEh3el/SA01/OA4e/BB3-eo/SB34/OB1.

I'll have a shot at creating some rules using this rulespace later on.

I believe Serizawa is such a rule, right?

Code: Select all

x = 31, y = 5, rule = B2-a/S12

Hold on, it seems as though I never considered the transitions from state 1 directly to state 2 and vice versa...

Amended, and Serizawa appears to follow the rulestring BA1pE-gLp3g4g/SA0E-gLp3m4op/OAEgLg3e4g/BB3m/SB0/OB1pLh3gl.

Feel free to confirm, though, I probably ended up getting something wrong.

Fredkin mod 3 is BA1gEpLp3lo4gm/SA1gEpLp3lo4gm/OA1gEpLp3lo4gm/BB1pEgLg3em4op/SB1pEgLg3em4op/OB1pEgLg3em4op.

Banks-II is BA3p/SA0E-pL3-p4-m/OA4em/BB1gEh3lom4omp/SB1EL34glp/OB01g. I think. Feel free to check that one as well.

You should put those in a codebox, because on some screens they can extend past the edge of the forum message:

Code: Select all

BA1gEpLp3lo4gm/SA1gEpLp3lo4gm/OA1gEpLp3lo4gm/BB1pEgLg3em4op/SB1pEgLg3em4op/OB1pEgLg3em4op
