Not quite - here's the originally-posted form: ...

And of course, there's the other trivial 34-bit isomer, replacing the carrier with a snake. Now all we need is syntheses for the two base forms (33- and 34-bit).

It's not quite a phoenix, because there is one stator cell on each side.

Rattlesnake has a friend on the top step of SKOP11 - behold, a new 33-cell P11, found by glider_rider in a 34-cell form and reduced by me: ... Very nice!

What are some things in Life that seem "miraculous"? I have the following incomplete list: ... One other feature that has been extremely vital in Life is that even though linear and quadratic growth are possible, they are rare.

Should I edit past posts, or hold out until I have more than one thing to post? I would recommend editing your last post if it's the last thing in a thread, but starting a new post otherwise.

I'm not sure if the following 22-cell p3 is known or not (seeing as it's above the magic 21-cell line), so I'll post it separately for completeness' sake: ...

Vey nice! It certainly looks new to me (but like most oscillators of this type, a synthesis path does not seem in any way obvious).

why is Sir Robin considered unsynthesizable? sure it might be made of tons of space dust and other junk which isn't periodic, but has an attempt even been made?

It was found by Kazyan 5 years ago. I'm not aware of any earlier mention of this p3. I knew that I had seen it before; I just didn't remember where.

I was messing around and I found an eater emerge from a natural synthesis. ... Note that the eater in this case forms as a result of a collision of two gliders, rather than by any of the more "natural" eater predecessors.

Is there a way to extract the encoded LWSS stream from the p46-based PRNG?

Couldn't you just remove the eater at the middle right that deletes the LWSS stream?

I just noticed a bug only started happening yesterday. Every single pattern I bring up displays an overlay that says, "If there are no cells displayed, click on Help".

Is someone messing with LifeViewer? Today, every single pattern I bring up displays an overlay that says, "If there are no cells displayed, click on Help". It wasn't doing this yesterday.

Also, is there a forum thread dealing specifically with LifeViewer?

When I was maintaining the ECC I always tended to boycott the addition of conduits that didn't have a valid prefix conduit and a valid postfix conduit -- but I was happy to hand over the maintenance task to other people, and standards may have changed a bit now.

Component for a 32 bitter. ... Unless there's a known way to make that active blob at the top, it doesn't seem like this really counts as a component.
