Re: Poll: Should the term "dependent reflector" be made to include reflectors that accept a range of timings?
Why must we have such a binary mindset? Why not call them semidependent reflectors or something?

Re: Absolutely Useless Patterns Not Worthy Of Patterns Thread
A switch engine made from three gliders can be stabilized earlier (in terms of when the fourth glider starts interacting) than one might think.
There is also an intermediate fishhook.

Mentioned in the RCT thread , I did a search to find 4-glider syntheses of glider producing switch engine s, with the condition that none of them produce any non-forward-facing gliders, and 1347 of them showed up. I'd guess this list is complete in terms of hitting a 3G unstable switch engine synth...
