There are no open paths where a glider could plausibly destroy that blinker -- it's really well protected by the catalysts around it. I hate to be one of those boring it-will-never-work people, because an incredibly lucky B-heptomino or other traveling pattern in exactly the right place could reach in there and kill off the blinker. Or some kind of edge-shooter, I suppose.

It's just not very likely that the reaction will be clean, so then there will be new and different junk to clean up... and the blinker will probably even have to happen to be in the right phase for it to work:

The block isn't restored until T=108, and it gets destroyed again by the subsequent reaction at T=125, with destruction probably inevitable by T=120. Run the reaction in LifeHistory and you'll notice that after T=108, the whole southwest corner of the reaction is hiding inside its previous reaction envelope -- there are just two cells at T=106 and T=107 that could possibly be affected by a new catalyst, to reshape that reaction. The new cells at T=123 and up are clearly too late -- catalyzing those locations would amount to rebuilding the block again, and of course it's much less likely the second time around because you've lost a lot of potential places for catalysts. So that southwest mess would probably all have to be cleaned up by catalysts in the northwest, in twenty ticks or less, let's say from T=95 to T=115 but it's probably a narrower window of opportunity. Effects of catalysis only travel at lightspeed, and it's a fair distance across the active reaction to the problem you want to control, so you have to go back in time in this weird way. But if you modify the reaction earlier than about T=95, you'll almost certainly wreck the toad->block restoration reaction, which defeats the whole purpose. So... at least according to my best guess, Bellman or catgl time will be better spent working on other reactions. It's a shame to just throw away that nice-looking transparent block, but two simultaneous probably-insoluble problems are lurking there, and the search space seems to small to compensate for the low probabilities. -- Apologies for the long-winded analysis. Maybe if I've done a good enough job of explaining, some of these tools will be useful in guessing the odds of success for new reactions. Seems like this business needs an instruction manual. Except that it would all be just rules of thumb, with more exceptions than rules: "Tips and Tricks for Conduit Hunters"...

Bellman found this weird catalyst for a Pi. Suppressing the natural pi that would otherwise appear (done with an eater here) moves the reaction a great deal towards the right, although the smoke ends up making the repeat time pretty long if this makes it as a component. #C [[ THUMBNAIL AUTOSTART HEIGHT 400 ZOOM 8 LOOP 200 GPS 40 ]] x = 17, y = 15, rule = B3/S23 8b2o$9bo$9bobo$4b2o4b2o$4bo$6bo$2b4obo$bo4bo$b5o2$b3o$o2bo$2o11b3o$12b o3bo$12b2ob2o!

(Is a useless discovery, but I am in the process of learning bellman and it could potentially be a route to non-uselessness)

Just for the record, I tried a standard 2-catalyst catgl search on this -- haven't recompiled with all the promising new catalyst options like the ship+eater, of course -- and got surprisingly few results. No clean H-to-Gs or anything, even. I'm running a three-catalyst search now, just for the record, though really I should write a good post-processor before I try to sort through the inevitable drifts of equivalent useless reactions.

Here's the catgl-ready pattern that I started with. Search was from T=30 to T=170, survival required for 79 ticks:

Is there a way to get the pi in there, though, past that southwest eater? Both chiralities of the standard H-to-pi are pretty much hopeless.

Not that I know of. There is an interesting point in this research, the more exploration is done in the area, the easier it becomes to "appreciate" and find new conduits.

For example I've found Pi->C but not the Pi part nor the C part is useful in their location (although there is plenty of space in both sides), because of the current knowledge of X->Pi and C->X. The more we explore the possibilities and the more we have such "half conduits", the more pieces of the puzzle we got to place them all together into something useful.

I've also posted Pi->"edgy" Honey farm for example, but we don't have too much research on that one as well.

It feels like if we could collect just large enough amount of these "almost" conduits, we could combine them together into much more "smooth" conduit collection.

Seems like a lot of catalyzing for one output glider, but I suppose if we keep going like this we'll eventually have an H-to-G for every possible nearby output lane relative to a Herschel, which will guarantee reasonably compact solutions to new connection problems.

On the other hand, a couple of Snarks go a long way these days to getting new output lanes, and this definitely as big as two Snarks...!
