User:Entity Valkyrie 2/StateInvestigator

An extension of Life. How unpopular.

There is an enormous chance that EV2 is the only lifenthusiast to use StateInvestigator.

Sigh... already failed two attempts to make StateInvestigator popular...

I hope someone has time...

Or maybe I haven't investigated enough?

[Moosey]

The problem is that
1) it's very close to extendedlife and extendedlifefancy, and shares many patterns with both:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = StateInvestigator
.2A$A2.A$3D$A2.A$.2A!

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = extendedlifefancy
.2A$A2.A$3F$A2.A$.2A!

2) self-promotion isn't very appealing

You tested only one state. Is a state that is different?

Test the patterns in User:Entity Valkyrie 2/StateInvestigator in extendedlifefancy. Do they all work?

Aims for others:
1. discover a period-203 oscillator in extendedlifefancy that is at most 10 cells large.
2. discover a glider duplicator in extendedlifefancy with a repeat time of 50 or less that is at most 25 cells large.
3. discover a glider-to-herschel in extendedlifefancy with a repeat time of 60 or less that is at most 35 cells large.
4. discover a double-barreled glider in extendedlifefancy gun that is at most 25 cells large and period between 61 and 69.
5. discover a 90-degree reflector in extendedlifefancy that is at most 12 cells large.

All five had already been discovered by Entity Valkyrie 2 in StateInvestigator, so let's see how similar extendedlifefancy can get.

[Moosey]

The only states that have no parallel in extendedlifefancy are those weird p2 ones
Furthermore, you did not discover a p209 in StateInvestigator; that was a p203

Provably, all odd-period or p1 objects that work in Stateinvestigator work in extendedlifefancy, because extendedlifefancy has all of the nonperiodic cells that StateInvestigator has

I suggest you post the objects you found like the "p209" and then we demonstrate whether one can make them into extendedlifefancy

More demonstration that SI is similar to extendedlifefancy:

I found a methuselah that lasts over 480000 ticks.
It's made by sticking a swimmer at the same place (or using "eternal on cells").
