This is one of the rules in rule table repository and it's also in Ready. HexBuss rule is amazing rule that I didn't find any thread in this forum for it, searching for Hex, Buss and Hex Buss didn't gave any results so I wanted to throw it here. ... You can build still lives around and contain the ...

This is a very thought-provoking topic. I'm looking foreword to seeing further discussion. Different types of rules (ie: generations, alternating, hex, n-state... etc.) have their own unique perimeters/mechanisms that can lead to a rule being explosive. For example, you can have two rules that by th...

this rule was discovered by dani: #C *snip x = 0, y = 0, rule = B3ai4ekq5cy6n/S2-ci3-ace4inr5eqry ! That rule is pretty interesting. Everything is obscenely big and complicated, except the still lifes. Have some more natural objects from that rule: Ships: x = 53, y = 61, rule = B3ai4ekq5cy6n/S2-ci3...

I wondered how many begin/stay conditions I could put in a rule while disallowing expansion. It's missing only 5 begin conditions (0,1e,1c,2a,3a), and contains every stay condition. This rule can not escape its bounding diamond +1(in every direction) because its stay conditions disable the successiv...

This pattern in LongLife expands past the bounding box of its bounding dimond. x = 32, y = 32, rule = B345/S5 14b4o$13b6o$12b3o2b3o$11b3ob2ob3o$10b4ob2ob4o$9b3o2bo2bo2b3o$8b3ob2ob 2ob2ob3o$7b5ob2o2b2ob5o$6b3o2b3ob2ob3o2b3o$5b3obob2ob4ob2obob3o$4b4o3b 10o3b4o$3b3ob5o2bo2bo2b5ob3o$2b3obob3ob2o4b2ob3ob...

Hope alternating rules would support Neumann-neighbourhood without converting tricks like this - it is a ship in B024/S1V: x = 3, y = 3, rule = B1e2ak3inqy4ny5e3e4jr5inqy6ak7eS01c2cn3c4c2ei3kajr4kaiqtwz5kajr6ei3e4jr5inqy6ak7e4e5c6cn7c8|B3e4jr5inqy6ak7eS01c2cn3c4c2ei3kajr4kaiqtwz5kajr6ei4e5c6cn7c8 o...

These are cases of alternating between two explosive Outer-Totalistic rules, yielding a stable rule. x = 75, y = 39, rule = B26/S04578|B367/S345678 60bobobobobo2b4o$60b5obob3obobo$58b3o2b2o4bobo2bo$58bobobo4b2obo3bo$59b 2ob2ob4ob3o$58bo4b3obo2bo$59b2o2b4o2b2obo$31bo27b5o2b2o2b2o$30b3o25bo b3o2b3ob2o...

This one forms oscillating diamonds that slowly expand until the imperfections along their edges are fixed. x = 64, y = 64, rule = B2cin3aciry4c8/S1c2-ai3-ey4ei7e8 b2o2b2o3bobob5o3bo3bo3b2obob4obo4b3o3bo2b2o2b2o2b2o$bo2b2ob4o3bo5bo2b 2o4bob5o2b2ob7ob4ob3obob4o$2obo2b11o2bo3b2ob4o2b2o2b4o3bo3b5ob3o2b...

I was looking for interesting rules unrelated to this thread and came across this one, which has this really common, slow ship. I wouldn't be surprised if its already known.

11cells: 5c/275

A collection of Oscillators in the Maze rule; periods 2-8, 10, 11, 14 and 18. Many may be already known, but I am unaware of any collections of stuff in this rule on the internet. x = 402, y = 244, rule = B3/S12345 13b2o57b2o135b2o26b2o21b2o30b2o30b2o69b2o$15bo58bo133bo27bo25bo28bo2b o24bo3bo2bo15bo...

Have there been any new ships found in this rule yet? Some osc because I'd feel weird necro-ing this thread without posting something: x = 236, y = 221, rule = B3457/S4568 42bo14bo42bobo$31bobobo4b5o53bobobobo$5bo25bobobo5b3o3bo2bo6b3o15bobo 20b7o8bobo11bobo$5b3o16bobo3b5ob2o2b5o3b3o3bob3o7bobo7b2o1...

Here are some probably mediocre alternating rules: x = 150, y = 150, rule = B2a/S23-jky4-az|B2cei4ce/S2-k3-jky4-az 4o2b2obob2ob3obob2ob5o2bo2b2o3bo3bo4b2o2bobob2o2b2o2b4o3bo2bobob2obob obobo2b2obob3ob4o2bo2b2o4b2ob3o3b2o3bo2b2o2bobo2bob2obob3o$2obo2b2o2b 3o2bo5b2obo2b3o2b5obo4b2o2bo2bo3b2ob3ob2ob2o3...

Very unique, cool-looking explosion in a rule found by toroidalet in 2017 when exploring binary counters : x = 194, y = 184, rule = B2cin3aer4eiqrz5i6cik8/S01c2cn3ek4nqtw5aekry6ekn78 That rule is pretty neat! Here are some various oscillators: x = 249, y = 289, rule = B2cin3aer4eiqrz5i6cik8/S01c2cn...

It's funny how rare that natural p4 ship is, despite it being so small.

Why does this rule not explode?

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 15, rule = B34ei8/S23-kq

Too many naturally-occurring honey combs and blocks choking up the aforementioned reaction?

Here are some mostly extendable P4 oscillators: Edit: more x = 164, y = 84, rule = B2/S 6$74b3o$73bo3bo$45b3o$14bo29bo3bo35bo3bo$12bobobo57bobo8bobo$13b3o$45b obo22bo22bo$71bo2bobo8bobo2bo3bo$58bo35bo$7bo6bo30bobo2bo4bo3bo11bo2b ob2o6b2obo2bo3bo$8bo4bobo17bo19bo5bo10bo5b2obo2bob2o7bo$6b3o3bobo8bo10b...

Minor size reductions of some oscillators and things. x = 15, y = 56, rule = B34c6n/S2-n3-ck4cijqtwy5y6n 6b2o2b2o$6bobo2bo$3b2obob3o$3b2obobo$6bo$b5obo$bo4b2o$2b3o$3bo$bobo$b 2o6$4b3ob3o$3bob2ob2obo$b3obobobob3o$o2bobobobobo2bo$2o2b7o2b2o2$6b3o $6bobo6$4b2o$2bo2bo$b4o$2bo$3b2o$4bo$4bobo$5b2o6$12b2o$...

If your question is can you construct them with a glider collision, then I think the argument you're getting at is: no, because the oscillator has a finite number of states, and when you run it in reverse it cannot "remember" when then collision occurred to construct it. This is true, so you cannot...

Quick question, is it possible to have a constructor in a reversible rule such as Margolus Critters? Oscillators seem theoretically impossible to create, as it would require at least two different states that lead to the same state. Those being; one of the oscillator's repeating states, and any stat...

Isn't there already like 1-3 Margolus Critters threads?
This one seems like a MC general thread:? viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3918

x = 26, y = 14, rule = B3aijky/S234cinyz 3b2o$3bo$bob2o$b2o2$2o$bob2o16b2o$bob2o16b2ob2o$2o22b2o2$b2o20b2o$bob 2o16b2obo$3bo18bo$3b2o16b2o! That rule is pretty neat!

So close!

Ah, I completely missed that one. Mybad.
But wouldn't that disqualify basically everything that is constructed?

Extendable without altering initial pop, just move the single cells further away from the block.
You guys can figure the numbers I guess.

Why is this the case? I'm no quantum rocket surgeon, but I want to guess that it's because they have a partial of ship/breeder/stretcher/moving-object that easily occurs in a particular symmetry. This theoretical partial also should have the same symmetry as the patterns' symmetry along the edge of...
