[21 edits worth of stuff] I'm afraid I haven't been paying too much attention to this rule before now, but seeing everything here gathered in one place, there are a lot of really impressive oscillators here!

Is the catalyst on the right the first explicit eater in the rule? For what it's worth, it can be reduced:
Code: Select all
x = 11, y = 8, rule = B2-a/S12

Definitely not:
