Re: Synthesising Oscillators
Is there a figure eight synthesis that can be used to insert this for a p232 LCM oscillator? None of the ones on Mark Niemiec's site (nor the 5G one I made earlier) work here: x = 28, y = 28, rule = B3/S23 15bo$13b3o$12bo$12b2o2$bo$obo7b2o$bo7b3o3b2o$10b2o3b2o3$19b2o$10b2o7b2o5b2o$b o7b3o14bo$obo7b2...

Re: 16 in 16: Efficient 16-bit Synthesis Project
Is there any hope for getting the two remaining 9-bitters in 4? I don't see why not. Many of the objects that are about the same frequency class as long^3 snake have 4G syntheses, and if I understand correctly we've still only investigated a small fraction of the possible 4G collisions. It's just a...
