Don't know how well known this old H-to-G0 converter is -- I seem to recall I posted it somewhere else not too long ago, but there might be some uses for it here. At higher periods (p188+) it can be used to convert a wrong-color Herschel to a right-color glider, with the help of a (color-changing) semi-Snark.

Also there are two possible positions for the semi-Snark's toggle block, so you can trivially change the timing of the circuit by 119 ticks... Apologies for the heavy-handed narration in the viewer below -- just testing out the new waypoint system:

One potentially nice thing about it is that the two gliders can perfectly be run through an H-to-G, one after another, and the doubled output can be reflected with a semi-Snark much later, after several Snark reflections if necessary.

Haven't found a way to reduce any guns with this yet, though -- the above is just a proof-of-concept. I guess it does improve on the previous p759 gun and various other nearby periods, but I'm sure there's something better out there.

@dvgrn - do you know of some spratan G->SL factory that might work here? one can "sacrifice" SL in many ways for this G->H (see here and here)

Well, there aren't very many known G-to-SL reactions at all, let alone Spartan ones with the output at the edge of the reaction envelope. And most of the linked examples aren't really quite clean enough to solve the problem, even if a there was a known G-to-SL that fit.

Mostly if you want a nice edgy still life you have to invest a Herschel:

Code: Select all

But of course if you have a Herschel to invest, then in most cases you've already solved your problem.

Something useful might certainly turn up during a careful review of results that Guam posted a few years ago. Guam's G->half-blockade (the first half of his G4 receiver) seems very promising indeed:

I think this is just about what you were asking for, actually. A single glider can reset, or preset, a Spartan version of the new G-to-H. It all works out rather nicely in fact -- the version on the left would have won the G-to-H speed competition by a landslide, until a couple of days ago. EDIT: Improved repeat rate to 295 ticks.

However, it's worth bearing in mind that as far as pure Spartan technology goes, we've had pretty much the same thing available since 1996. A standard Herschel receiver is Spartan, and it can be reset by a single glider in eight different ways -- four parallel and four 90-degree paths. By the time you finish adding in all the extra junk above, a Spartan syringe is about the same size as a receiver.

Did Guam report any other G->SL discoveries at about the same time? I don't remember all the details any more.

I was looking at Golly's collection of eaters and I was wondering if such thing as a flintstone existed: a still life that, when given a spark of some sort, makes a glider and returns to its original configuration. Coupled with some of the flashy eaters we have, could we combine the two to make an on-track colour-changer or colour-changing reflector? It's a long shot, but we could try.

The p723 is already the beginning of a very compact family of guns, and p723/3=241 and multiples are all covered by the p482+8N family. So I don't think this nice delay mechanism really improves anything in the gun collection, which is starting to look fairly robust these days.

However, this has given me the final push to start a formal H-to-2G converter collection in a new thread. I'm starting with just parallel outputs, but people are certainly welcome to post other H-to-2Gs (and H-to-3Gs, etc.) with outputs in different directions. Elementary or compact composite circuits are okay. Maybe the multidirectional H-to-Gs will get their own stamp collection -- especially if someone else does the work.

Simply bonking the systems with 2-cat CatForce runs doesn't get anything useful, but that doesn't mean it's not possible to regenerate the versatile sacrificial bait.

These both have a sacrificial block in the place of the eater2. The best way I could find to send a signal in to rebuild the sacrificial block was posted a few messages back.

If people get desperate, it might be worth looking for ways to convert the suppressed spark at the bottom directly into the reset glider. Maybe CatForcing a replacement for the bottom block?

Seems like a very long shot, of course, since there are only a few ticks before the damaged R collapses into a block, and the eater is too close for comfort. Anyway, needing a dependent conduit after this mess probably makes the whole thing bigger than we really want a Spartan syringe to be.

There are also some workable Spartan H-to-block ways to replace the sacrificial block --

-- but of course to get the H input you'd need a ridiculously large Spartan Herschel splitter. Again it's hard to see how that approach would produce anything small enough to be interesting.

Maybe it would be better to try a similar approach with a different base reaction. What other resettable G(n) or other 2G->H reactions are there, where there might be some slight hope of CatForcing the right reset glider?

The point is that the chaos produced by FNG collision with the stray beehive or other debris might be tameable into replacing that sacrificial bait, but I see what you mean.

One possibility that I haven't explored that much--because of how time-consuming it is--is to thoroughly CatForce one side of a Pi up to generation ~80, then take every result and combine them with every other result on the other side, in the hopes of regenerating the bait on at least one of the combinations simply because there's so many of them. Like this:

Code: Select all

x = 37, y = 51, rule = B3/S23
5b2o$6bo$6bobo$7b2o4$17b3o$17bobo$17bobo15$2o$bo$bobo$2b2o13b3o$6b2o9b

$17bobo9b2o$17bobo9bobo$30b2o!
Of course, a lane-blocking result wouldn't be combined with a second lane-blocking result.

Nice! I didn't even notice that the snake-like catalysis affects the Pi the same way that eater does.

On the non-spartan side of exploration...this is probably more trouble than it's worth because the repeat time and size are atrocious, but the explosion here can likely be tamed into a functional G-to-X.

Hmm. A G11-to-X or G12-to-X tandem glider receiver I could see. But that extra beehive is not going to be too easy to clean up, and it settles out before the bait beehive does.

Why is it always an extra beehive, anyway?

(If I remember correctly, somebody was complaining recently about some other surplus still life being the inevitable one... but now I can't find the reference.)

In all cases, exactly one of the still lives is regenerated. Given that there are (I think) 144 reactions there, there's probably something in there where the non-regenerated SL can be restored by further searches. I don't know if anyone has done this particular kind of search before, though, so this might be completely pointless.

of flowers, to jump universes to one of springtime in
a land of former winter, where no invisible walls stood,
or could stand for more than a few hours at most...

Looks interesting!

It might be good to sort these somehow in order of likeliness, if that's possible. In the first pattern, the beehive is only restored between T=132 and T=137, and then it's gone again. A really useful Spartan G-to-X will probably have the restoration complete by say T=43 or T=74 or maybe T=90... wouldn't say no to a slower one, but it would be nice if it was in the same range as the syringe or even the Snark.

A still life that is restored for a longer period of time is also probably a better bet to investigate further, as opposed to a very brief restoration; there's more time to add catalysts to rescue it successfully.

Here's a quick script I wrote, that makes a LifeHistory stamp collection with candidates separated by gray cells so that they don't interact:

Code: Select all

import golly as g

It will take a bit more work to have the script dig out the first tick when the still life is restored, and how long the still life lasts. Is that information easily available from your search program?

EDIT 3/9/2023: Times have changed a lot since 2016, and there's a lot more room in a forum post now.

Just casually browsing through them, I guess it's not that surprising that most of them are a bit unlikely... but one of the more promising might be this: (block added by me to delete a TL)

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 18, rule = LifeHistory

This brings me an idea of sequential "sacrifice and restore" strategy:

We can use a search that has a sequence of spartan SLs, and the search is looking to find a "new sacrifice" of SL, which restores a previously sacrificed SL (together with regular catalysts of course). This will allow much much deeper "sacrifice" strategy, than anything else we currently have. In more advanced stage we can allow N sacrificed SLs.

This one makes an LWSS (!!). Unfortunately, it looks rather difficult to salvage.

Code: Select all

x = 37, y = 28, rule = LifeHistory

EDIT: This, however, looks distinctly more possible...

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 16, rule = LifeHistory

Apologies for resurrecting a dead thread: here's selected results of a multi-week 3 catalyst, g-hits-bait with a sacrificial block search. The marked ones already have completions (snark, syringe, prototypical bumper, and an old g-to-block). I included the minimum number of catalysts required to restore the bait, so some might require additional catalysts in order for that restored bait to stick around.

Code: Select all

x = 320, y = 320, rule = LifeHistory
