What you have shown in the pattern is merely a 5-by-5 condition. I assume you meant that the following transition rule should be followed in this case? (T = 0 on the left, T = 1 on the right, state 4 = off, state 3 = on, state 2 = unspecified.)

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory

For comparison, here is what happens in plain Life for the same condition:

x = 11, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory

It is obviously possible to define a cellular automaton that does this:

1. if a cell has exactly three alive range-1 Moore neighbours, then it lives in the next generation
2. otherwise, if a cell is alive and has exactly two alive range-1 Moore neighbours, then it lives in the next generation
3. otherwise, if a cell is dead and has 24 alive range-2 Moore neighbours, then it lives in the next generation
4. otherwise the cell dies or remains dead

To implement this cellular automaton in Golly/LifeViewer, it suffices to make a weighted range-2 neighbourhood where each of the 8 inner cells has weight 17 (decimal) = 11 (hexadecimal) and each of the 16 outer cells has weight 1:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = R2,C0,S34-67,B51-67,152,NW01010101010111111101011100110101111111010101010101

For comparison, an equivalent definition of plain Life with the same weighted neighbourhood (the toggled living condition is B152):

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = R2,C0,S34-67,B51-67,NW01010101010111111101011100110101111111010101010101

However, I'm not currently sure whether that 5x5 condition can make a difference in evolution of patterns. (E.g. is there a glider synthesis that settles into two different objects in the two rules?)

Honeyfarms evolves in a bit different way, but they can't affect the overall evolution at all.

[confocaloid]

You need to add the B152 condition to the ruleset (otherwise the rule is completely equivalent to Life). Common honeyfarm predecessors still evolve the same way:

Code: Select all

x = 60, y = 6, rule = R2,C0,S34-67,B51-67,152,NW01010101010111111101011100110101111111010101010101

I think the rulespace defined by that weighted neighbourhood includes 2^306 CA rules. The state of the middle cell ranges from 0 through 1, the "inner count" ranges from 0 through 8, the "outer count" ranges from 0 through 16; 2 x 9 x 17 = 306; with the given weighted neighbourhood, two different combinations can never produce the same weighted sum.

[muzik]

There're 136 neighbors in the weighted neighborhood, but LifeViewer says the maximum neighbors a cell can have is 8.

This appears to work:

Code: Select all

x = 0, y = 0, rule = R2,C2,S2-3,B3,136,NW08080808080801010108080100010808010101080808080808

Notice a few things:
- The B6 condition on its own can produce, of all things, Margolus oscillators.
- von Neumann rules can be emulated as follows: do not change the neighbourhood counts for expansion factor 3, but multiply them by 5 for expansion factor 2. I can't find a way to do expansion factor 1. For example, B24/S134V with expansion factor 2 is R3,C2,S5,15,20,B10,20,NW00000001000000000000050000000000001900000001051900190501000000190000000000000500000000000001000000, and B2/S2V with expansion factor 3 is R3,C2,S2,B2,NW00000001000000000000050000000000001900000001051900190501000000190000000000000500000000000001000000.

To escape bounding box, one must have either of B1, B5, B6, B25, B26, B30, B31. All seven expand bounding diamond as well. (B1 and B5 generally produce explosive rules.)

I hope that others can join in...

*If one creates a graph of which cells are adjacent to each other (with respect to some neighbourhood) in a SL, one obtains the adjacency graph of the cells in that SL. For example, the adjacency graph of the block in Life is the tetrahedral graph, and that of the block in B/S2V (or Factorio) is the square graph.

It's possible to go a bit closer to INT R3 Cross, using an "atlas" of multiple overlapping rulespaces, with each "chart" in the "atlas" defined by a weighted neighbourhood like this:

R1 neighbours and R3 neighbours are treated as before. The four R2 neighbours are split into two pairs, allowing to distinguish the situation "two alive R2 neighbours opposite each other" from the situation "two non-opposite alive R2 neighbours". One needs to be careful to choose living conditions so that the resulting CA is isotropic (for example if B58 is included then B78 also should be). Otherwise it seems to work:

That "distinguishing trick" could be performed for any one of three ranges, and would work in Golly/LifeViewer.
I think it's also possible to do that for two ranges at once. However, one would need to use the highest weight on the remaining range where all four neighbours have the same weight.
It appears to be impossible to perform the "distinguishing trick" on all three ranges at once. That would require some cells to be weighted 243. Currently Golly/LifeViewer only allows weights from -127 to 127 (signed two-digit hexadecimal).

I've been exploring a variant of Minibugs lately (R2,C2,S6-9,14-20,B7-8,15-24,NM or r2bffc0c0s0fe1e0).

The rule has photons of many periods, with periods 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 33, 40 and 88 known.

Code: Select all

x = 429, y = 109, rule = R2,C2,S6-9,14-20,B7-8,15-24

As one can see, ob2o! has the largest number of mod-1 objects, with a whopping 8 of them.

[iddi01]

I surprisingly found a highly Life-like cross-neighborhood rule: R2,C0,S3-4,6,B0-7,N+

Initially, it would seem like Factorio, due to these things:

Code: Select all

x = 32, y = 19, rule = R2,C0,S3-4,6,B0-7,N+
3$14bo6bo2bo2$15bo6bo5$2bo2b2o!

But then, it would appear to be closer to CGoL, for being quite chaotic, having not-so-sparse ash, and small sequences that last quite a while:

Code: Select all

x = 28, y = 21, rule = R2,C0,S3-4,6,B0-7,N+
6$3bo$3bo$21bobo2$3bo19bo2$4bo!

However, this rule has some unique features that neither CGoL nor Factorio could ever have imagined:

First, since this rule is strobing, it's self-complementary in some sense, and large solid blocks last quite a while:

x = 118, y = 50, rule = R2,C0,S3-4,6,B0-7,N+:T118,50

Due to lack of catalysts, this rule is currently lacking two important things, guns and reflectors. With the high potential of this rule however, i think both won't be hard to discover.
This rule (i called it CrossLife) is now officially my favorite LtL rule.

If you wish to apgsearch this rule, use this ruletable:

Code: Select all
