Synthesizing Patterns In Unusual Ways

Post by Hdjensofjfnen » January 12th, 2020, 2:45 am

There doesn't seem to be a thread for this, so I'll make one.
The goal:
Think of a fairly simplistic synthesis, then create a different, more complex synthesis based on an unusual predecessor.
For instance, here is an unusual 6G of a bi-block:

Code: Select all

x = 44, y = 36, rule = B3/S23
39b2ob2o$39b2ob2o7$36b2o$36b2o3$33b2o$32bobo$34bo6$9bobo$9b2o$10bo25b
o$6b2o27bobo$5b2o28bo2bo$7bo28b2o2$30b2o$29bobo$10b2o19bo$9b2o$11bo2$
3o$2bo$bo!
from this predecessor:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 11, rule = B3/S23
4b2o$4b2o2$4b2o$2bob2o$bo$o$bo$b3o$bo$o!
Challenges to pursue include synthesizing the beehive from this predecessor:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = B3/S23
2bo$2obo$2bo!
Good luck thinking of and synthesizing more unusual predecessors!

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 9, rule = B3-jqr/S01c2-in3
3bo$4bo$o2bo$2o2$2o$o2bo$4bo$3bo!

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 5, rule = B3/S2-i3-y4i
4b3o$6bo$o3b3o$2o$bo!

Is this tub predecessor unusual?

I would say so!
On an unrelated note, beehive in seven gliders:

Clean preblock! (The synthesis provided by LifeWiki is not clean)

I have reduced the glider cost of quadratic growth to eight and probably to seven. Looking for conduits...

This Glider-plus-Eater LOOKS like it wants to make an LWSS :

Find something that produces the spark in white, then collide it, and we get a pulsar!

x = 13, y = 8, rule = LifeHistory
