There is currently a roughly 25 by 50 region in the upper left whose only purpose is to generate a very delayed glider. If we can replace it with a different method, then the glider will be more delayed. With the new bounding rectangle, the amount of space there is larger than before. Perhaps we ca...

F(a,b,c) (notation used in my previous posts) is now deemed UNCOMPUTABLE. I don't think so. There are finitely many rules with a fixed number of states and patterns with a fixed bounding box. It is definitely computable. The only way might be brute force, but there is a finite number of transitions...

I've noticed a lot of forums I've come across have some sort of name. Some have a clever name (e.g. in_thread for Sonic Pi, TromboneChat for a forum about trombone playing, etc.) Some are named simply like "[product/package name] forums" ( Arduino forums, LVGL forums, uLisp forums, etc.) This forum ...

Is the goal to find them such that the initial bounding box never moves, or that the pattern never gets larger than an MxN box? The goal is to find oscillators that have a maximal MxN bounding box, in an arbitrary rule with K states (where K can be anything, not just 2!!) And while I do know the "c...

wirehead

I think the next step would be to increase the bounding box to 40,000 cells and then do tetrations on each corner that all feed into each other, so it would be 8 up-arrows in the final function. Just plugging this suggestion again... or some variation of it. I see you all are trying to really incre...

Hence, p72 is the highest period possible. Yay! Wow... I was not expecting progress this ...

I had a bit of fun trying to write a program last year that given a Thue program, would try to get a probability of the program halting. Thue programs can be written as NFAs, so the algorithm tried to look for self-referential rules and loops of states, but it never worked to certainty. You can alwa...

Definitely 2^(MN)

Um, no. It's not that simple, considering that I specified any number of states, not just 2. dvgrn posted a good argument above as to why K^(MN) is not possible for any number of reasons that I encourage you to read.

Just curious... What is the smallest thing that can count the number of gliders in a signal? The gliders in the signal will be in a constant period and it should emit its output as a glider, with the position of the glider depending on the number of gliders counted. Also, it only has to be able to ...

wirehead

Okay, so from what I understand, a dependent reflector is a glider reflector that explodes if it isn't fed a constant stream of input gliders. In that state they really can only transmit information once: they signal the end of the input stream by exploding. However, I thought: is there a dependent ...

Sort of, anyway. It produces the usual kind of Sierpinski-triangle pattern, but doesn't make anywhere near exactly the same pattern of ON and OFF cells. The lowest levels of the triangles are made out of blinkers and traffic lights, and they're not always identical to each other, so you'd have to d...

Yes

What's the largest known elementary spaceship?

As far as I know, Sprayer. (2,1)c/6

wirehead

Aha, so are there any p3 or higher? What about a spaceship/sparkler? I don't know of any p3+ oscillators that are proven unsynthesizable. That would probably be another question (and another research paper) for Ilkka Törmä and Ville Salo. In terms of spaceships, (so far) Sir Robin is unsynthesizable.

Are there any higher-period oscillators/ spaceships / sparklers where each phrase has only one predecessor ( With sparks a distance away not being counted )

I think you're looking for the unsynthesizable oscillator.

Well, not sure what to do. I don't know if there is a python3 version of apgsearch.

Ahh. So is there a new Python 3 version?

There is a urllib3 but apgsearch is looking for urllib2 so it won't work.

Please see my edit in the first post too.

No idea.

I'm trying to run apgsearch-2017-8-07-v0.54+0.32i.py, but it returns module not found for urllib2. That’s probably an old Python 2 version from the sounds of it, and urllib2 isn’t included in the standard library (afaik it still isn’t). EDIT: urllib2 SHOULD be included with python2 , not sure why i...
