Poking around in non-totalistic rules I found B34/S2-a3. Some variants also seem of interest (namely B34/S2-a36i and variants that make it more volatile but still nonexplosive).

Infinite growth occurs with a rare but naturally-occurring puffer. By far the most common oscillator is the T-tetromino which is period 6. There are two orthogonal c/2 ships that seem to occur naturally with approximately equal frequency.

Code: Select all

x = 135, y = 178, rule = B34/S2-a3

and this pattern exhibits extremely chaotic infinite growth, which perhaps could be exploited to make quadratic growth as it sprouts the previously-mentioned puffer.

I nominate to call this rule Hyde after Jekyll and Hyde, because chaotic explosiveness appears readily from small, symmetrical patterns and yet has never evolved from a random soup.

B34-n/S2-a3 is a nearby rule of interest. Many of the same ships as in B34/S2-a3 work normally but there is a naturally occurring diagonal ship (a variant of the C-ship with a single cell added) and a naturally occurring, large, sparky p28.

Code: Select all

x = 30, y = 17, rule = B34-n/S2-a3

I've been building up a strange pattern collection for a very long time, around 6 months, here are my findings (sans duplicates and stuff that isn't that interesting):

--

A puffer which creates and destroys another puffer:

A rake pulling a block 40 cells orthogonally in 144 generations (40c/144o backend, c/2o frontend):

2o$bo$bo$2o!
A queen-bee esque oscillator in another rule. Removing the stabilizing blinker makes the bee output another blinker, but in the incorrect position:

A 3-cell breeder, the smallest possible:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2-k/S0

Two replicators interact to produce a glider at 3(-3+2^[n+1]), for positive integer n:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 6, rule = B2-ik3c/S2-k3i4
7bo$2o4bo3$b2o3bo$7bo!
Last but not least, a (hopefully) aperiodic pattern that stretches a dot:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B2-ik3c/S2-k3i4
obo$3bo$3bo$2bo!

I hope some of these patterns will eventually reach the 'Non-totalistic' section of Golly. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I really don't think you can consider something a rake if it leaves solid debris.l.

Some fantastic patterns in there!

Beautiful rule. I'm amazed that there are no natural small spaceships - not even one in the 140,000 soups submitted to Catagolue.

I really like this one too. I'd love to see a variation of it where the solid areas are slightly more prone to decay than they are here.

@muzik: which pattern are you referring to? If you mean the fourth, then there is definitely a rake - which is then interacting with debris from a reaction supported by the rake.

I'm fairly certain that grows at ω(x) - in other words, superlinear, but not necessarily very much so.
At the very least, it should grow at least as fast as xb(x), where b(x) is the inverse of the busy-beaver function and thus grows uncomputably slowly. I'm willing to bet on xa(x) (a(x) is the inverse Ackermann function).
