This new one seems to be a little bit faster to recover, and also a good bit simpler if you remove the unnecessary G-to-MWSS in the southeast. Nice work!

Can you reduce mine without using beehives (other than the one in the H-to-MWSS)?

Yes, just slightly -- 1665-tick recovery time instead of 1684 ticks for your original version, with a glider output in a reasonable direction, and down to a 112x172 bounding box:

Turns out neither of these beats the modified version of Extrementhusiast's Corder-Heisenburp, though -- it recovers in 1616 ticks, even though the bounding box is a bit bigger at 173x137. It makes sense that none of these can compete with the 768-tick recovery non-stable version, I guess.

After a seven-year gap, you can figure that out as well as anyone else can -- just look at the patterns. Guam wasn't familiar with all the most common names for things at first. J-heptomino is an old rare synonym for a Herschel, but five syllables was too many once Herschels turned out to be so amazingly useful in signal circuitry.

Please edit previous postings instead of triple-posting, if possible. And if you're going to re-post ancient stuff, please at least add a few words to explain what you're thinking. What does the Bx106 really have to do with the unrelated BRx161B_Lx303H -- just that that they're both stable duplicators? Why exactly does this need to be brought up again after six years?

The big question is, why is a synthesis of an object actually needed? I personally find one huge synthesis from a bunch of gliders to be of little use. In most cases, synthesis of a particular object is just a means to an end, e.g. it may be a partial step in the synthesis of something larger, or a larger synthesis may require several different objects to be placed in a particular orientation to each other.

Specifying a synthesis in separate steps has several advantages. First, any amount of time bay occur between steps, which allows incoming groups of gliders to be placed as far apart as convenient, while a single synthesis may require gliders to be placed uncomfortably close together, which may require many more gliders to actually synthesize (e.g. from a puffer). Second, many steps can be done in several different ways (e.g. if a step adds a boat, there are many ways to make a boat, with gliders coming from different combinations of directions). These allows a synthesis to be customized according to various constraints, e.g. if a glider needs to come from a direction where another object has already been constructed, an alternate step may be needed.

None of this flexibility exists if all the steps are combined into a single synthesis. Rather, such a synthesis must be retroactively deconstructed into its individual steps, which can then be altered, and then reconstructed again. Modifying such a single synthesis is about as easy as editing the text in a ZIP file with a text editor. Also, a complicated synthesis made of a large number of steps usually generates an extremely large pattern that is very difficult to examine with the naked eye.

If someone REALLY needs a single synthesis, making one from the separate steps is a trivial exercise for the reader.

The triggering mechanism needn't be a glider; a well-placed onetime spark, possibly from another conduit, would do the trick as well. (The spark is too close to the final eater position for it to come from a reasonably-sized oscillator.)

It could POSSIBLY be reduced to 4G IF there is a way to turn a halfblockade into something in the path of the excess glider with 1G, but that’s unlikely.

Given that a half blockade can already be made from just 2 gliders, this is already 4 gliders, unless I'm missing something terribly obvious?
