I played around some more and got it down to one puffer pop 48 in an 11x9 or 44 in a 12x9 box with a life span of 356,626 and a final pop of 39,975. Could this be considered a world record Methuselah? #CXRLE Pos=12,-9 x = 11, y = 9, rule = B012458/S1245 2b2ob2o$bob2o3bo$ob5o3bo$9o$ob5obobo$bob2ob5o$...

I took two chaotic puffers I found in B01245/S01245, put them in a 20x20 in B012458/S1245 and added some soup. Initial population is 132. They head in opposite directions and the pattern stabilizes at generation 220,479, with a population around 49000, and no living spaceships. Are there many other ...

I found a pattern that contains chaos. The chaos sticks to the walls, but patterns with two axes of symmetry (one in small spaces) can crystallize spaceship collisions in the center until the space is filled. Then inverse spaceships often create inverse crystals and the process repeats. This pattern...
