Can anyone identify the rule used here? The result looks like a pseudo neural network or something.

Post by speakeasy518 » November 20th, 2021, 1:55 am

Someone posted a video of a really cool looking, presumably CA, neural-network looking thing r/cellular_automata a few months ago and never bothered to share the rule. Does anybody have any idea what it could be?

Don’t make so much thread here, most of them isn’t worth it.
This is a block of text that can be added to posts you make. There is a 255 character limit.

something useless:

Code: Select all

 #CXRLE Pos=-8,-6
x = 11, y = 10, rule = B3/S23

To be more specifically, we are talking about non-totalistic rules here, and we are not all artists. People here are more concerned about the useful spaceships, oscillators, and infinite growths. For such growths, post them in the “Patterns” part will be better.

I've made two posts, one just now, and my first post five days ago. I did read through the rules and I won't make any more posts like the first one, but I wasn't entirely familiar with CA or what this forum was about at that point, I've spent the last week messing around with Golly and learning the terminology. This thread doesn't break any rules and commenting on it with such a pointless statement is elitist and immature.

Like my first post, your comment here is "mostly not worth it" imo

what does being an artist have to do with anything I asked?
People here are more concerned about the useful spaceships, oscillators, and infinite growths.

You
may be concerned with that, but I'm pretty sure this thread is for the discussion of other CA rule sets that aren't GOL
For such growths, post them in the “Patterns” part will be better.
but I'm not interested in the pattern, I'm interested in the rule set

Well, it’s much harder to identify any rule, even if you have an entire video. Also, I’m just not sure if you have read the whole things, so please accept my apologise.
(I’m not good at English, and this place is universal, so please use less “unrecognisable” words. If I have any spelling mistakes, please tell me soon. I will recorrect them as soon as possible.)
Lastly, I’m new too - you can look at my posts amount.

No worries, all good mate. I'm sorry for making the first thread. Your spelling is great, but you could of reworded

to: "please don't make any more threads that aren't on topic" or something like that. That's just semantics though, your English is good.

Yeah, I don't know if it's even possible, but I figured if anybody could figure it out, or knows of a similar rule set, it would be here.

Thanks for the reply about spelling.
And here are some possibly useful suggests:
1.It might be a higher-ranged outer-totalistic(HROT, or Larger Than Life), with frequent high-period oscillators acting as “neutral cells” which looks like(and sometimes, can) that they’re transfering signals.
2.If all the cells are connected together, it might be a non-totalistic rules growing out “branches” which are called wickstrechers.
Most importantly, I Don’t Know Why But I Can’t Load The Video! Maybe it’s because my web is bad.

I am almost certain that the rule is not of the sort commonly explored on these forums, so the chance of someone recognizing it is slim to none.

bit condescending tbh, I appreciate the links and I'll look into it more, but I don't quite get what you are suggesting here. The "signal processing pattern" did arise naturally...

The code you attached also didn't bare any resemblance to what I generated fyi. They weren't kidding when they said this community isn't very welcoming to amateurs lool.
Yeah, unfortunately the process of sharing interesting discoveries can be quite rough for newcomers. For example, they have no way of knowing that a thread like Miscellaneous Discoveries in Other Cellular Automata even exists, let alone the correct context for those threads or when to make a new thread entirely. I wouldn't be surprised by a reputation of being unwelcoming.

Having concepts like "circuitry" or "signal processing pattern" brought up can be very unappealing, when they are unnecessary to understand or enjoy cellular automata.

All I can suggest is try to spend some time looking at the more popular threads if you want to get more familiar with way we do things. Hopefully something can be done to make these forums more newcomer friendly in the future.

I'm not sure, but this reminds me of Sproutlife, which has been mentioned a few times on the discord in passing recently.

btw, the Patterns category is for CGoL content; the OT board is definitely an ok place to put this.
