Re: Tiling with placement rules for still life and p2 oscillators

If there are no intersections between edges in a graph, it is clearly planar. The only place this graph can have an intersection is at the vertex between four cells, and that can only happen if all four cells around that vertex are occupied. Thus, any still-life with a non-planar graph must contain ...

Is this the smallest p5 rotor (4 cells)? x = 3, y = 3, rule = 23/4/5 .A$A.A$.A! You are probably asking about the smallest p5 rotor in a two-state, isotropic, non-totalistic rule.

If you run the attached pattern with the speed set to 2^8 (change the base step) and pressing "tab" repeatedly instead of running it, you will see that the wiggly lines clear up in the first few thousand generations, leaving two active boundaries. The topmost boundary would evolve for a while, but a...

Re: Is this oscillator known

The p6 is trivial, an oscillator must have at least one cell that oscillates at the full period to be non-trivial, your p6 has 10 p2 cells and 3 p3 cells.
Your p3s are stillaters with different stators.
