Conjecture: Photons are only possible in B3 rules with S3. WIthout B2a, B1c or B1e, finite photons are impossible. With either one, a counterexample would be Determination (B2a3i/S12) I think you are missing the topic of the post, which is about HROT CA. The specific part of the post you quoted is ...

Based on the above, I believe this can indeed be considered a single object ("wandering spaceship") able to survive arbitrary sequences of switches back and forth between the rulesets, rather than as two different objects. Further, since there can be at most one occurrence of the 3-by-3 condition "...

BTW, is there a notation for oblique hexagonal ships?

[...] Instead of trying to "explain CGoL to everyone" directly, it may be better to explain CGoL to those people who already understand and accept the basic idea of "doing it yourself".

Methinks you are confusing two different things: Names of specific particular things (i.e. specific patterns, specific reactions, specific CA, etc.) Terms for general concepts (e.g. spaceship, oscillator, still life, cellular automaton, etc.) Names of specific things don't need to be logical.

Well, the problem is that such experiments can make things worse (i.e., increase scattering instead of reducing it). I think some more discussion/upfront thinking on this would be helpful, to avoid unnecessarily spending time and efforts on trying experiments that are likely doomed. If a new thread ...

Some more naive questions here. What makes moving technology specific to some speed notable? Would it make sense to start a forum thread specifically for diagonal c/5 technology? If yes, why? If no, why? How about orthogonal c/5? How about orthogonal c/2?

Maybe check LifeViewer, which is open-source now?

I did not know that you did. No, not really -- I did not discover that p594, either. For example the following post shows that it was already known by 2012. (In fact, I did crosspost it to the thread you linked to: https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=180739#p180739 ) [...] But beyond that...

So basically you are already breaking some chaos here on the conwaylife.com forums, and now you are asking for an advice regarding how to break your school's rules as well? That said, there is an online version of Golly but probably not exactly what you are asking for. i have this constant lingering...

This p594 is long known, and it's a large part of what makes HexInverseFire an interesting CA.
