Here is an example of music from CA (not a rickroll).

You had me convinced that that was a rickroll

It was not

This is trivial for rule tables; you can just make some extra states that fly really far out at c/2 only to be caught by photons sent out after a very long time

Speaking of switch engine stabilization, are there any Catagolue symmetries consisting of a switch engine with a soup behind it? Such a symmetry would be a good way to find new, extremely rare puffer orbits (or hypothetically one-engine corderships) for switch engines, if any such orbits exist.

I think the title of this thread is a good example of the Streisand effect. Someone confirm for me though.
