Any reason to use the left snark (harder to construct by slow salvo)?

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 8, rule = B3/S23

But isn't that variant nonspartan?

If we do finish this one, I'm going to call it 13131, a palindrome which describes the velocity. Good luck.

Isn't 13131 a Bb7 chord on the guitar?

I don't know. I just wanted to reset my score to zero at that time. (this post doesn't count)

So the first research project is to figure out how to put that block back as soon as possible, and also get a surplus signal out to send forward to catch up with the Cordership and do whatever cleanup is needed.

Or is this NOT how it works?

E.g. if the primary moving color is red, then this catalyst in Symbiosis: x = 3, y = 8, rule = Symbiosis .B$.A4$2A$.2A$A! becomes this in StateInvestigator: x = 3, y = 9, rule = StateInvestigator 3E$E.E$EDE4$2A$.2A$A!

Since we already have FWKnightship, I thought we needed the rest of them:lwks.gifmwks.gifhwks.gif What rules did they come from?

What even is a FWSS? Free-weighted spaceship?

Is there a counterexample to my third conjecture? Given any Symbiosis pattern where ONE COLOR IS STATIONARY , an equivalent StateInvestigator pattern can be made. I think it's true. All immortal cells of the moving color in Symbiosis (the ones touching the non-moving colored cells) can be made into...

To avoid confusion, my conjectures are: Given any Symbiosis pattern, an equivalent StateInvestigator pattern can be made.

Given any Symbiosis pattern, it is possible to construct a StateInvestigator pattern that does the same thing. Oh really?

Proof? I'm interested.

Sorry, it's "Given any Symbiosis pattern where one color is stationary"
