Here is the 15c/56 fuse in a "moving frame of reference" . The cells are enlarged by a factor of 4, and the grid moves diagonally to the northwest so that the forward glider stays at the same place between kickbacks. After 56 ticks, the forward glider is moved forward by one "enlarged cell". #C This...

There are some pages collecting fuse s: Blinker fuse Block fuse Pond fuse Are these notable ( LW:NB ) object-specific article topics? Are there other good ways to cover the same area? I think it would help to understand better what are existing alternatives/possibilities, before too many of similar ...

I think most non-redirect pages with '^' in the title are moved now: Special:Log/move

Constructablility is vague, so how am I supposed to know which context? Anyway, as I said, constructablility is not integral to blockicness. Constructibility is directly relevant to Blockicness, though -- Blockic constellations appear in contexts where constructibility matters. The advantage of res...

Do you understand the difference between slow salvo construction and an arbitrary glider synthesis?

Anyways, you only need 2 gliders for a bi-block - same as a block.

I prefer option 1 (leave the current name). I would agree with option 2 (use the rulestring) if there was a good chance that this will settle the issue and the article title will remain a rulestring.

The fact that "condition" has been used does not mean that its use is common .

If you do want to talk about a static instance of a CA pattern, condition might be the right word - but I feel that that is not what is done. Conditions are actually static (unless one uses an alternating rule , or otherwise changes the rule over time). For example if the B6 condition (birth on 6 a...
