Analysis of honey farm predecessors

[hotdogPi]

I went through the honey farm hassler and honey farm shuttle pages and kept track of the way each honey farm generated, as long as it generated asymmetrically. I kept track of the first group of cells I recognized. Anything with only one result that had a direct descendant also on the list was merged into that list. Here is the list, sorted by formation (similar formations are grouped together). Block+blinker has a lot of different ways to form. There may be some that have the same parent where the parent isn't listed because I didn't recognize the parent.

Two observations that were surprising to me:
1. The p54 and p55 guns have the same predecessor.
2. I thought this below was one of the most common block+blinker predecessors and the main reason block+blinker is more common than the two objects appearing coincidentally. However, it only appeared exactly once, which means it got merged into block+blinker itself.

Bumping to crosspost into a thread that seems relevant:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 6, rule = B3/S23

Thank You

reason I asked is a lot has been made of HoneyFarm Hassling

so we want predecessors that "beehave" - develop/morph

tightly within a bounding box that contains the entire

progression - from beginning to end - all phases...

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 8, rule = B3/S23

hotdogPi also posted this HF Predecessor

So is this the record longest?

Do we know who discovered it?

Or can we agree that it just

"exists"

therefore

has Latency

EDIT

the state of existing but not yet being developed or manifest
