Oscillator Discussion Thread

[Scorbie]

Well, it pretty much works. It can, with no manual intervention, reduce something like:

Do you use a script to convert the oscillator into rotor/stator bitmap? If so could you share it?

I have no intention of running this on every (or any really) posted oscillators, it's just so tedious.

If there is a way to run the program without manual intervention people will run it on every pattern where stator optimization matters

It takes pattern as periods and asterisks on standard in and does its own analysis of period and rotor/stator. There are some examples checked in (e.g. [1]) and sample output from running in the repo's readme [2].

Ohhh, thanks. I'm gonna run this for every pattern I discover

Well, it pretty much works....
I have no intention of running this on every (or any really) posted oscillators, it's just so tedious. Is there an archive anywhere of what is currently considered "best" of some sort? Like some collection of oscillators for which any stator reduction would be interesting?

Not that I can think of, except possibly hotdogPi's updated oscillator collection.

The problem is that a lot of patterns end up being optimized for bounding box first, and population only secondarily, or not at all. This is especially true for the gun collection, which is where your sample p28 oscillator came from. Reducing the population means increasing the bounding box in this case, so it doesn't count as a relevant stator reduction for gun-collection purposes.

P28 Gourmet "solved"

Based on this, here is a solution that replaces the p28 guns with p4 sparkers (smaller solutions probably exist):

Its stabilizations make oscillators of strict volatility arbitrarily close to 1.

I'll share the JLS mod used to find the wick.

It's a jlsphoenix mod.

Edit: requires java 11 or later

Strictly volatile p4 oscillator, I think.
Might be reduced.

Turns out, this version is not only already known but has had a synthesis (unlike the 53-cell version) since 2015.

What??? I was trying cells by hand to see if anything led to unset cell errors and this came up.
