Re: Thread For Your Unrecognised CA

While rule golfing for some rule that is easy to make Turing machines and universal constructors in, I found this p36 osillator:

As well as this 11c/47 block puffer:

All don'ts for reversible rules:
Don't have:
A predecessor to a still life except itself.
A predecessor to an oscillator except one of its phases.
A spaceship eater.
Any spaceship collisions that annihilate each other or leave a single spaceship.
Any live patterns that die out.
