This would mean that when switching from e.g. 11-state to 10-state, all the SI cells would be bumped by one state because they begin at a different number.

Yes. Would that be a significant issue?

What about in Symbiosis?

Unfortunately, I don't understand the question.

When I created the rule StateInvestigator, I had no intent to make it universally constructable. That makes sense, as the features of StateInvestigator make it useful for different reasons. Conveniently, for the purpose of making a super set of rules like wire world, universal construction is irrel...

I have added some long overdue performance optimizations to the program, along with one minor bug fix. Additionally, the hosting provider for the collaborative CA editor has changed, which will result in longer loading times for the webpage. Edit: Added an optimization for handling large patterns.

Related to this discussion is a series of posts by Cyclotrons In it is a generalization of the INT generations rulespace which has a significantly shorter notation than ruletables/trees. Something along these lines might be able to address certain issus with multistate accessibility and readibility.

silversmith

I would say the main issue with multistate rules is accessibility. It is relatively easy to make an interesting INT rule, such as one with ships, oscillators, circuitry or bizzare patterns. One can start with an interesting rule, change a few transitions, and get another, never before seen rule with...

Is there a program for finding single sided synthesis reactions? Well, I wrote a program which can search for single channel synthesis recipes. For example, here is a search which finds collisions that recreate a z-pentomino in the same position relative to the incoming ships, and saves the results...

Would it be possible to implement INT generations support for the RLE identification box on Catagolue? I have several patterns which I would like to find some sample soups for, and RLE identification would be very useful.

I have added collaborative functionality to the program, where several people can work on the same pattern at once. Running the pattern is done locally, but you can reset it to see what changes have been made. The multiplayer application is available here: https://collab.silversimulations.com/ Feel ...
