These posts seem to be SPAM and I think we should look out for more of these SPAMbots.

Thank you for compiling them!

I am surprised these oscillators didn't get added to the oscillators.db (especially the p251): Some oscillators in B3567/S14578. There are many middle-to-high-period oscillators, one of them being a surprisingly small p251. x = 58, y = 132, rule = B3567/S14578 o3bo$o4bo4$2bo$2o5$2b2o7bo$2o7b2obo4$2b...

[...] The intended transformation from a 3-state object to a 2-state object [...] No, I mean transformation in the opposite direction.

While the pattern you posted is a three-state object in a three-state CA. Without additional information, it is not obvious what is the intended transformation to map an arbitrary two-state object from HighFlock into the corresponding (either two-state or three-state) object in your three-state CA....

So far I didn't find any way to destroy that oscillator, once it is constructed. It's still a kugelblitz even if it happens to be completely indestructible. But it would be interesting to have an example of a destructible kugelblitz. For example any single photon is safely absorbed, but a pair of p...

[...] Due to symmetry, it suffices to consider photons arriving from one direction.
