I think these would better fit in HotWheels9232's Interesting Rules, rather than in the Symbiosis thread. A slight variation of Symbiosis is not Symbiosis anymore, so it's not too surprising to find patterns that do not work in Symbiosis.

So someone did notice it was there! However it might be hard for me to move it, but I can still ask the moderators to move it.
My 503rd post! I'll think about it because it is only a tiny bit away from symbiosis so maybe it should be in symbiosis. Or maybe TFYUCA
My rules:
B34q/S23-k(ObliquePufferLife) and
B2n3-n4c5c/S234cz5cPM me to get some help on making rules!

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 5, rule = B3-k/S23

Feels free to post guns even if it isn't record-breaking, just not too often, like once per day

So we have a lot of letters in conduit names. There are some standard but unofficial ones (like I for I-heptomino and O for two-glider octomino), some ambiguous ones (L: LWSS, LOM, or possibly [in the future] long bun?), but R-turner can't take any letter because R is obviously taken... but how about Я? So you could have a ЯF65B.

Some pages seem to be hard to write well. To give a specific example, Cellular automaton currently has (I think) a somewhat reasonable lead (not perfect but it could be worse). OTOH sections after the lead seem to be several different subjects placed together on a single page, with some technicalities and generalizations. I think the article is in a bad shape and I do not know what would be a good shape for this article. Maybe it would be a good idea to start with something specific and easy to understand, and leave generalities to the end. Maybe it would be a good idea to focus on the history, rather than on formal technical definitions. Probably it would be better to not overload the article and put more specific/narrow topics to separate pages.

Why not use ⓇF65B for this one (Ⓡ = CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R ((not) to be confused with the registered trademark symbol))?

I think the previous design for gun_166 / guntrue_166 was this one:

Code: Select all

#C From here: https://gitlab.com/apgoucher/catagolue/-/jobs/3039922691
x = 0, y = 0, rule = B3/S23

27bo$27bobo$28b2o!
The bounding box changed from 3234 cells to 2604 cells between 2022-09-15 and 2022-09-25; it is possible to guess that the bounding box was 62 x 42; assuming the 2604-cell design did use the p166 R-pentomino hassler, it could be already possible to guess that it used SE5T12 (I did not find anything else in H-to-G-04Jul2022.rle that would fit).

Edit (2022-10-26): old things are not always "superseded" by newer smaller things.
The new guntrue_113 / gun_113 works in b3s237e.
The syringe-based p113 gun works in b3s234c.

Sorry for nonconstructiveness, but how are these puffers related to smallest known oscillators by population (SKOP)? Please just invent a new abbreviation and edit posts like this.

Not acceptable as "object" is too broad and causes ambiguity when referring to the abbreviation SKOP. Why not just abbreviate "smallest known puffer" or "smallest known rake"?

And yes, I have seen the first one who liked the above post is who thinks OTCA = OTCAMP.

Why create YAFLCA (yet another four-letter confusing abbreviation) when you can overload an existing abbreviation? I think the context can be used to resolve any ambiguity. There is a reason for existence of disambiguation pages.

Besides (now that you mentioned "the one who liked the above post"), I don't know whether it's acceptable to make posts telling other people what to do like this, but I think it's not exactly awesome.

I moved this off-topic discussion from the spaceship discussion thread to the sandbox.

I'm of the opinion that we should try to avoid new acronyms and initialism where possible. If they become too common I worry that they could be confusing to newcomers. If a commonly discussed pattern or concept has a somewhat long name, then I think it's reasonable to abbreviate it.

So we have a lot of letters in conduit names. There are some standard but unofficial ones (like I for I-heptomino and O for two-glider octomino), some ambiguous ones (L: LWSS, LOM, or possibly [in the future] long bun?), but R-turner can't take any letter because R is obviously taken... but how about Я? So you could have a ЯF65B.
As a matter of fact, I've been compiling a list of important methuselahs, signals and evolutionary sequences, and given each a 1- or 2-letter symbol:

Code: Select all

Ac Acorn
An Angel
B  B-heptomino/C-heptomino
Bf Butterfly
Bk Bakery
C  Century
D  Dove
Dh Diehard
E  E-heptomino
F  F-heptomino
Ft Fleet
G  Glider
Gd Gliders by the dozen
H  Herschel
H' Herschel descendnt
Hf Bun
Hw HWSS
I  I-heptomino/H-heptomino
Ia Iwona active region
Ic Interchange
J  Blonk-tie
Lb Long bun
Lw LWSS
Mp Multum in parvo
Mw MWSS
O  Two-glider octomino
Ob Octomino II
P  Pi heptomino
Ph Phi spark
Ps Pulsar
Qb Queen bee
R  R-pentomino
Rt R-turner
S  LOM
Sa 2c/3 signal
Sb 5c/9 signal
Se Switch engine
T  T-tetriomino
Tb Thunderbird
Td Teardrop
Te Table
Tg TL + glider
Tm Two glider mess
U  U-turner
W  Wing
Z  Z-hexomino
Making an actual periodic table is an exercise for the reader.
