Re: Thread for basic questions

Q1: Do all oscillators whose rotors are 1 cell thick (i.e. the rotor fits in a 1xn bounding box for some n) have period 2 or 4? m=1, isn't it? The design of the unidimensional spaceship should allow for a variant that rebuilds itself in the same location. Every cell outside the 1xn region should be...

Re: Unproven conjectures

Conjecture: The growth rate of the function f(n) is exponential or even faster. f(n) return the biggest non-infinite final population obtainable from a starting pattern that fit in a nxn bounding box. The function f(n) grows no slower than a busy beaver function, as we can simulate a Turing machine...

Re: Thread for basic questions

Have any patterns been constructed such that no cell in the plane remains on permanently, yet the overall growth rate is clearly quadratic? e.g. a nonfiller whose "eating" reaction is slower than its "filling" reaction in much the same way as a growing spaceship would be?

Re: What is Doppler effect?

I created the page. I was applying its typical meaning (regarding the relative motion of two moving objects) to CA. If there's another example that applies, you can add it.
Maybe we should ask GUYTU6J because the only mention of the Doppler effect on LifeWiki is a GUYTU6J edit.
