At present, the name of the page is " OCA:Logarithmic replicator rule " and the replicator embed is labelled "The namesake logarithmic replicator," yet my result is shown in the section OCA:Logarithmic replicator rule#Growth_bounds . At present, for the page's title, we have three main options befo...

Firstly, since the one thing that seems to have unanimous support here (from both dvgrn and confocaloid) is having more opinions about the 'condition vs transition' issue, I'll try to explain my understanding of the difference between these two terms. (Maybe this should be cross-posted to the 'rule ...

We've finally got a new longest-lived C1 diehard, messless_14h:

Dies out on generation 1413.

21-cell form with lifespan 1410:

RT114 B-G Nice! That extensible B conduit can also yield a Herschel output by using a mechanism from the elementary conduits collection: x = 122, y = 81, rule = LifeHistory 81.2E$82.E14.2E$82.E.EB10.B2EB8.2E$83.2EB.2B7.4B7.B2E2B$85.5B6.4B8.4B $79.2E4.7B4.5B5.6B5.2E$79.E5.7B3.7B.8B.2B2.B2EB$80.3E2.7...

Good job, unfortunately I cannot see a clean line to destroy an eater Why do we need to do that, exactly? The only time that I recall that we needed to destroy an eater was in the DBCA, and that was solely to allow the elbow to 'jump back from infinity'. ... is building the white part by DBCA cheap...

Yes, I was tired to finish the adjustment (div8) ... and I wanted to code it ... here is the final/curent version: Excellent -- this can be pulled another 32fd inwards (see below). I've also swapped two of your reflectors to avoid having the hearts of two Snarks be too close together to construct: ...

Yes we can adjust the collision by 8/16 ticks not to need the eater. Wow ... 2 blocks instead of scorbie and an eater :) Excellent! Can you please incorporate this into the above design? Yep, at the edit of my previous post... That pattern doesn't work (the kickback doesn't occur because one of the...

If I calculate it well, with snark (rather to 2 eater2) and the reaction from move4 reset we could make the reflection with correct p8 synchronization ) ... so 2 blocks and eater rather to the rectifier. Yes, this works. I had to use the opposite glider phase, and also change the NW31 inserter to g...

OK, yours turn ... the final touch ... considering the build (and also the destroyal costs). Oh, you have changed the inserter to use the natural glider ... is the soluion with block and tug with tail cheaper then your original with two blocks and eater? ... I hope so. I was able to replace 3 Snark...

And a bit shrinked version: Using 3 Snarks to produce the kickback glider seems rather excessive. If we slightly rework the NW31 inserter, we can replace it with a p8 bumper together with a Boojum reflector, at the expense of only allowing the DBCA-destroying gliders to have a single phase: x = 191...

Know? x = 55, y = 56, rule = B3/S23 32bo$31bobo$30bo3b2o6b2o$19b2o9bo3bob2o4bobo$19b2o9bo3bob3o4b3o$31bob ob2o2bo4b3o6b2o$32bo4b2o4b3o7b2o$42bobo$42b2o2$29bo$29bobo$29b2o5$22b o$21bo$21b3o3$2o$bo$bobo$2bo11bo$14bobo$14b2o$11b2o$11bobo$11bo6$18b3o $18bo$19bo5$26b2o$26bobo$26bo2$39b2o$39bobo$29bo4b2o...

I have decided to sync the ecca and doing it manually would be a headache, therefore I have codded whole ecca in lua ... a dirty code with a lot of parameters I have later decided ... here is the result: Impressive! Removing the Herschels and gliders, this has a mean population of 3218, compared wi...

My intention has always been to trigger the final cleanup of the remains of the Simkin gun at the bottom with a spaceship from straight above. This was looking difficult so I implemented the available quick glider cleanup, which took a short while to set up and about a second of computer time. My s...

Locking this topic for the same reason as the original thread

The Simkin gun seeds were swapped out for seeds that were compatible with complete retraction of the off side capping eaters. The startup timing was changed to accommodate this by 72 ticks. The latter part of Pavgran's shutdown sequence was extensively reworked. The following is the shutdown: I not...

No new green things, but I did add 864 more generations: 120 more generations: x = 116, y = 86, rule = LifeSuper .3S33.O3.2O3.2O6.M3.M33.M2.M.8M.3M.M.3M$3.S32.O.O2.O4.O2.O4.4M.M10.M 21.M2.2M2.2M2.M.M4.M$2.S34.2O3.3O.O.2O6.2M2.2M7.M.M20.M.M2.M.2M.M3.2M $44.O.O11.M2.M7.2M.M4.2M15.M2.M3.2M.M.3M2.M.3M$...

Another level by trying a bit harder And one more level beyond that (to 17^^^3) by plagiarising one of the earlier diehards: x = 116, y = 86, rule = B3/S23 9b3o25bo3b2o3b2o6bo3bo33bo2bob8ob3obob3o$11bo24bobo2bo4bo2bo4b4obo6b2o 24bo2b2o2b2o2bobo4bo$10bo26b2o3b3obob2o6b2o2b2o4b3o23bobo2bob2obo3b2o$ 4...

No lifespan improvements yet, but it can be shrunk to 111x87 Further SAT-solving reduces it to 110x86: x = 110, y = 86, rule = B3/S23 3b3o25bo3b2o3b2o6bo3bo33bo2bob8ob3obob3o$5bo24bobo2bo4bo2bo4b4obo6b2o 24bo2b2o2b2o2bobo4bo$4bo26b2o3b3obob2o6b2o2b2o4b3o23bobo2bob2obo3b2o$ 38bobo11bo2bo6b2obo5b2o15...

... Also, what ideas could we have for the smaller diehards (16x16, 32x32, 50x50, 75x75, etc)? Here's a stamp collection of my best diehards for most square sizes up to 31x31. Maybe someone will find it useful, either for some of the components Thanks! That's very helpful. In particular, this shoul...

Hi All, On my first post to this thread I mentioned that I tried to start the diehard by sending a glider over the top and that I couldn't get it to work. I found a way to make that work: x = 112, y = 89, rule = B3/S23 2o19b8o20b12o4b5o2bo15b2o15bo$b2o19bo4bo22bo3b2o8b2obob4obo13b2o8b2o5b o$o43b2o4...

EDIT: One more first sawtooth pull before the first fuse is lit: There was a single-cell bug in one of the blobs of space dust which caused the final shutdown to fail. Here's the corrected version, colourised: x = 112, y = 89, rule = LifeSuper 21.8Q20.12Q4.5Q2.Q15.2M15.Q$22.Q4.Q22.Q3.2Q8.2Q.Q.4Q.Q1...

EDIT: One more first sawtooth pull before the first fuse is lit: Very nice! I've been looking at this area here, and noticed that if an extra eater head is attached to one of the block destroyers, then it produces a mild spark to the west: x = 60, y = 53, rule = LifeHistory 45.2A$45.2A$15.2A.2A38.2...

No, EvinZL's does not work. Mine and b3s23love's do, though (I checked). Right, but they have the same height of the second tower, don't they? In terms of improving the height of the second tower, we can use a fuse to extract a one-time signal into the currently unused northwest corner, and then we...
