Pseudo Life (B357/S238)

[Naszvadi]

Maybe I got lucky -- here's another Glider 3736-reflecting reaction with the same initial interactions. However, it's not a clean reflector (there's a leftover block) -- is it possible to delete that block?

The output glider is created via the same "tub+beehive spark" collision as in the 24c/48 siderake by FWKnightship:

For glider circuitry, a gun or an orthogonal backrake with p98*n-compatible high period would be enough

The reflector can add gliders reasonably close ahead of an existing narrow salvo (at least 22 available paths):

The glider 3736 moves by 2 cells during one period. Unless I'm missing some trick, it seems like at least one other reflector will be needed to be able to do arbitrary adjustments in position and timing. A pair of reflectors can shift by an odd number of lanes, like this shifter that moves the glider by 147 cells forward and 87 cells sideways during 2352 ticks:

By locally running the shipcolls utility, I found one collision that makes the natural puffer, and two syntheses for the c/3o spaceship (the cleanup takes one more glider):

Edit 4 (2023-06-07): (cross-posting from Thread for your completed searches using any software)
The following pairs of p248 puffers emit sideways 2c/5o gliders and leave a low-population stationary ash.
I believe it is be possible to find syntheses for some or all of these pairs, and it should be possible to clean the leftover debris by a long convoy consisting of 286P56H28V0 (and/or other glider-constructible simplified-c/2o spaceships). Since the period of 286P56H28V0 (56) doesn't correspond to the period of the below puffrakes (248), multiple spaceships will probably be needed to remove just one layer of ash, making the resulting glider-constructible siderake even longer.

I think the chaos settles into a quadrupling reaction before T = 23,200,000. Below is a simplified version of the pattern at T = 23,196,122. (The puffrakes are moved back to the origin and the escaped gliders are deleted, without affecting the reaction.) The block catalyst forms at the next tick; the first catalysis happens after T = 23,197,732, and subsequent catalyses happen every 1116 ticks.

In the below demo pattern, the track consumes 22 glider 3736s, and produces as many glider 3736s on well-separated paths as desired. Three output gliders are reflected and sent back along two distinct lanes.

There are still some restrictions on the positioning and timing of reflected output gliders. However, in theory the known components (the glider-emitting track, the 90-degree reflector and a set of Blockic one-time turners) are likely to be already sufficient to construct a glider 3736 gun.

I picked the base reaction when looking through a non-exhaustive set containing 811 glider-emitting interactions between two p248 puffers, and attempted to complete the reaction as a glider-emitting track. The reaction is almost simple to clean -- the following arrangement leaves only a small tub-and-block constellation in the middle of the region of activity. A lucky placement of sixth p98 to remove that leftover constellation was found by a separate gencols search. (Edit on 2023-06-10: the mentioned search finished without finding any other ways to do the cleanup.)

Edit (2023-06-10): here is a reasonably simple way to get a glider of a different colour -- in the following example pattern, two gliders of different colours are sent along the same path:

Due to a mistake I lost an incomplete attempt at constructing a gun. I believe it should be solvable now for periods 98k, k >= 11. (Below p1078, the simplest way I could find of extracting a glider of "bad" colour+direction using two gliders of "good" colour+direction cannot be used because the recovery is too late, so a more complicated wiring will be probably needed, or some other way of getting a glider of another colour without changing direction).

A pair of consecutive 90-degree reflectors simultaneously changes the even/odd parity of both coordinates of the glider. A "zig-zag" of two 90-degree reflectors is a 0-degree reflector; if it is followed by a third 90-degree reflector, then the "zig-zag" can be flipped to adjust the timing (mod 2) of the output glider without changing its direction/x-parity/y-parity. Trombone slides can adjust timings by multiples of 10 ticks. A sequence of four 90-degree reflectors can return the glider on the original lane, delayed by 9 (mod 10) ticks:
