Re: Thread For Your Accidental Discoveries

I am confident that this is one of the most absurd things I have ever found. Potentially the oddest thing anyone has found this year, yet extremely -and pathetically- useless.

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 7, rule = B3/S23

Re: Small Tori in B3/S23

That drop-off at precisely 90 generations is quite weird. What could the reason be for chaotic behaviour not being able to extend for more generations? Because otherwise it would be similar to finding methuselae, where for a longer lifetime one would expect a (probably exponential) decay in the prob...

Re: Movostill 3 (B2e3aceij5-ijr/S23-a4)

Interest in this rule faded rather quickly.
I am intrigued as to whether any sawtooth patterns could be constructed in this rule, as it has a weird stability to it that suggests suitable push/pull reactions are much less likely.
