Miscellaneous Discoveries in Other Cellular Automata

[Layz Boi]

There was a question in the Discord; whether or not phoenix rules without B2 can have ships. So I became curious myself. So I looked a for such a rule that is conducive of expanding its bounding diamond. So after some manual tinkering INT transitions, I give you a rule that might have potential rules within its vicinity:

edit:
I found a rule that explodes quicker: (B34-aeqz5ar6-ae7c/S vs. what I previously had: B34-qr5-ejny6-ak7/S)

Code: Select all

#C this pattern hits a population of 30k after only about 500k generations!
x = 108, y = 108, rule = B34-aeqz5ar6-ae7c/S

There was a question in the Discord; whether or not phoenix rules without B2 can have ships. So I became curious myself, and I figured the first step would to be to look for a rule that is conducive of expanding its bounding diamond. So after some manual tinkering INT transitions, I give you a rule that might have potential rules within its vicinity:

LLS is able to solve this problem. You need to key in the command below into WSL to find a c/2 non-B2 phoenix ship:

Code: Select all

 ./lls -r pB345678/S -b 10 10 -s p2 x0 y1 -p ">0" -p "<=20" 

EDIT:
Managed to get the rulestring of non-deterministic CA:

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = R1,C2,S2-3,B3,P72,70,70
!
#C [[ RANDOMIZE ]]

[pipsqueek]

Some failed replicators found by LLS. They replicate successfully once, but then they break.

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3ainq4eiknqz5n6cn/S2ace3eikny4aeikqry5-cn6-ce7e
3o$obo$2o!
[[ STOP 10 GPS 5 AUTOSTART ]]

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3-kr4r5aej6ce7c8/S2aei3-cjqy4eiknry5-jkn6cin7e
bo$3o$b2o!
[[ STOP 10 GPS 5 AUTOSTART ]]

3o$2o$obo!
[[ STOP 12 GPS 5 AUTOSTART ]]

The last one is in a non-explosive rule and can probably be made into an oscillator, here is the closest I've gotten

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 11, rule = B3ain4ejkqw5-ejqy6k7c8/S2ace3acin4ijknqry5-ery6k7c
8b2o$8b2o7$2o6b3o$2o6b2o$8bobo!

I found a working one

I wanted to post this in "Halfway between two Life-like cellular automata", and I did, and TYCF liked it, but I decided finally that the post was irrelevant, so I posted it here... This serves as a lesson that you should never post in the wrong thread.

R3 Cross joined the chat

This is a rule halfway between R3,C2,S7-12,B3,7-12,N+ and R3,C2,S7-12,B3,8-12,N+. It seems to be explosive in any orthogonal bilateral symmetry and any symmetry that contains it as a subsymmetry:

I decided to try a variation of Life alike B3ai4/S23, albeit with S4 instead of B4 (so the only two transitions are the maximal-neighbour-count ('hardest') two which are necessary to escape bounding boxes)

soups are dense but not explosive, as one might imagine, dominated by a 3c/10 diagonal wickstretcher

removing S2a makes soups considerably less dense and blocks rarer (since pre-blocks instead vanish), and gives it a cool growing spaceship (with the wickstrecher as the frontend, 6c/23d backend)

You've seen Faster-Than-Light ships before, or maybe even a FTL rake or puffer, but...
How about a pre-block that literally just gets teleported?
