More spam on ZZ_LINEAR. It seems to be the primary target There seems to be three kinds of zz_LINEAR objects. The first, mainly occurring in D8, happens when four switch engine pairs fire gliders back into the origin, eventually making a mess that persists for millions of generations until a reacti...

In a crude attempt to make either more or less work for Dave, I have decided to fill in a few of the gaps in his updated definitions for the Lexicon (set off by percent signs): Part 1: Remove “14-ner”, “2 eaters”, move “4 boats” to “four boats” :1G seed: See {seed}. :(23,5)c/79: The rate of travel o...

Dull p24. There should be one left.

Conduits update (finally)! I sincerely apologize for the tardiness.

Did somebody turn the heat way up on the rate of symmetric soup searches?

Hello everyone, my name is thunk. Well okay, that's the nym I go by online. My meatspace name is not actually thunk. That would be rather silly. (And no, I'm not going to tell y'all just yet.)

I've now implemented D2_x, D8_1 and D8_4 (in version 3.21), so that just leaves D4_x1 and D4_x4 (which I'm not particularly looking forward to doing...). Good luck! One note is that the "rare oscillator" messages are a bit overwhelming, especially in some symmetries. Doubly especially in D8_4, wher...

Awesome work! I've just started an instance each for those symmetries. (Ah, if only I had a few more cores available, though -- between the five extra symmetries now supported by apgmera on one hoof and Day & Night on the other I don't have much I can throw at b3s23/C1 anymore!)

And you're not allowed to use third party programs, right? You do it by trial and error? Also, is there a size limit to the starting configuration? This sounds kind of fun to me, though life veterans (e.g. NOT me) might find it boring. I may give it a try. Nope, no size limit, but no 3rd party prog...

Seriously though, apgmera's symmetry options are pretty cool. Thanks, calcyman. ε><з

Because I have plenty of impatience and spare cpu cycles, I went ahead and searched some of the spaces reserved by others. Apologies to bullet51, dvgrn, and muzik:
#6, #133-143 is empty; #172, #174, #175 only have trivial p5+p2 oscillator combinations.

#203-215 are now complete, with no results except for the usual blinker-octagon combinations. Laptop results are now in for #57-60/64 (probably equivalent to #225-240/256). As usual, no interesting results were reported, except for one heart in #58: ......***. ......**.. .....*..** ...*.....* .....*...

#161-164, and multiway #202 (that is, 3217-3232/4096) finished with negative results. #165, #166, #170, and #173 have also finished with negative results (except one octagon+blinker combination). #58-63 and #168 are also empty. #225-240 (in the form of 57-60/64) are now running on the laptop, and #2...
