If I had a nickel for each reduction made to a pattern that was 7+ years old today, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Apparently, a reduction to this P10 was hiding in EV2's oscillator stamp collection in plain sight. https://conwaylife.com/forums/v...

I discovered a quantum computer in CGoL! I have worked out the necessary steps in order for anyone to construct one. First step; start with an empty pattern: x = 0, y = 0, rule = B3/S23 ! Second step; wait until the empty pattern starts filling up with cells, via quantum fluctuation. Third step; aft...
