It can be considered as aperiodic as it works in all phases of the chosen sparker :

Correction: this component is definitely periodic. It's just that it can be used as if it were stable (one could describe it as a "functionally stable" device).
It isn't aperiodic, that is an incorrect description. 'Aperiodic' would mean that it never repeats at any period at all (compare total aperiodic, aperiodic monotile).

Here is a p8 HRx74B.
The white Block is changed in a Beehive then restored in a Block by the p8 oscillator (weak dot sparker).
It can be used as stable conduit as it works whatever the timing.

Periodic g-to-lwss, it works with p4,5,6,7 for sure, but well, the stable way works too, but surely it's bounding box can get improved, the 2g-to-lwss reaction is moderately edgy so that shrinking it might be good (unless somehow a better one I failed to note exists).

It turns out you don't even need a Conduit 1 (BFx59H) — it turns out that letting the B evolve into H works, with a transparent block:

I know this is a double-post, but no-one has posted here for over a month.

And I know that this post of mine is off-topic, but I'd really love to be able to reassure people that double-posting is not unilaterally forbidden by the rules any more.

The rules now say -- emphasis mine --

[1a] Do not post multiple messages consecutively in the same thread without a good reason. If you made the most recent post on a thread and you have something short to add on the same topic, please edit your previous post instead of making a new one.

I was hoping that that change would make it clear that people don't need to be constantly apologizing for double posting, when their reasons for double posting are perfectly valid.

Do I need to add another adjustment to rule 1a, like a sentence at the end? Like this, except somehow shorter?

"If you think you have a good reason for double-posting, you're probably fine -- go ahead and post -- no need to mention that you're double posting, that's just irrelevant noise -- people with good reasons are not the intended audience of Rule 1a."

At this point I think it's safe to finally amend the rule that's causing all this misunderstanding. People still seem to constantly feel the need to apologize for perfectly valid double posts -- as if they think that there's a NO DOUBLE POSTING EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES rule and moderators will get mad every time the rule is bent a little bit.

I won't amend the rule much -- I'll just add confocaloid's suggestion "... without a good reason", and I'll try changing around the order of the clauses in the following sentence to make the rule's intended purpose a bit clearer.
