Stable universal regulator

[dvgrn]

Here's a stable universal regulator. The topic came up recently in the Useless Discoveries thread, and on looking back I realized that I'd never followed up on my plan to build a p1 regulator.

The closest I had come was a P712+8N->P1 regulator. The input signal could come in any time, but the drive signals (testing whether an input signal had come in in the preceding interval of 712+8N ticks) had to be synchronized mod 8.

Suddenly, building a candidate P1 replacement for the old period-8N and period-60N universal regulators seemed like an insurmountable opportunity:

This regulator should be driven by at least a period-1177 drive gun. That is to say, test gliders should come in on the white glider's lane (from the NW) no less than 1177 ticks apart. Other than that there's no periodicity requirement for the test input. Advance the white glider two ticks to see the difficult case that's handled by the almost-never-used extra eater catalyst.

The signal input is the yellow glider from the southwest. After it destroys the blocking eater, the next test glider will produce an output signal, and rebuild the eater. I've left open two possible output paths, marked with damaged eaters. Either or both can be used.

The next test signal should be sent about 1177*2 = ~2400 ticks later, for absolute safety. There's an optional eater (yellow, circled) in the center that can absorb most test-glider timings, but a few of them would cause trouble -- and it's not really part of the design to lose test signals like that, anyway.

This is just a early alpha version, of course. There must be ways to rewire this to rebuild the eater in less than 1000 ticks -- maybe quite a bit less. Anyone feel like improving the bounding box or the recovery time?

Nice!

Maybe a bit dumb question: don't we have direct H->eater converter? It looks very strange to me that we need two H for single eater.

EDIT I've found here previously posted some H->rare SL converters.

...don't we have direct H->eater converter? It looks very strange to me that we need two H for single eater.

Sort of. There's one Herschel conduit that produces an eater as part of its evolution, but it's later destroyed.

I definitely don't know of any direct H-to-edgy-eater converters. Going by Catagolue probabilities, we should probably see a thousand edgy H-to-beehive converters before the first edgy H-to-eater.

Didn't want the following idea for a practice project to get lost -- it seems like there must be a surprisingly small universal regulator within reach now, and it seems like this is a good thread for tackling that little challenge.

... It might be a good idea to get a lot more H-to-2Gs into the organized stamp collection first, though. I'm still looking for volunteers to run the classifier script.

Wow... that's insanity. I looked at the gun for the 15- glider version and it's crazy. Is there any easier first project?

...
Another idea that came up was to look for the smallest possible mechanism to edge-shoot a fishhook eater. Let's say a stream of gliders is going by, and then this mechanism off to one side gets triggered to build an eater right on the glider lane. Then all future gliders in the stream get absorbed by the newly built eater.

It only takes two gliders to build an eater, and technically we do have things kind of like this already, in universal regulators and elsewhere. But there's probably a smaller faster easier way to do it, using recently discovered H-to-2G components.

Actually this might be a better idea than I thought. The stable universal regulator just came up on the "Things to be discovered" thread, and I went and had a look at it. It needs a drive gun with a period of 1177 ticks or more, and it kinda sorta edge-shoots a glider -- at least, it would if you turned it inside out, routing both of the synchronized rebuild signals clockwise.

Whoever built that universal regulator clearly had absolutely no idea what they were doing.** There's a whole extra completely unnecessary G-to-H-to-G component in each of the two signal branches, that really doesn't do anything but waste time.

It should be possible to replace the H-to-2G in the center of the universal regulator. Pick the correct H-to-2G from the draft glider adjustment toolkit, and use only Snarks for the rest of the reflectors. It should be possible to cut the bounding box considerably, and get the minimum drive gun period well down below 1000, at the very least.

This is another case where the synchronization problem is as simple as it can possibly be -- only two gliders. And it's a useful mechanism, so either

1) people would actually copy and use it for years in other patterns, and the pattern would end up in the LifeWiki with your name on it;

or

2) your improvement would make other people pay attention to the problem, and one or more of them would find even smaller faster solutions, and then the smallest fastest one would end up in the LifeWiki instead.


** [Full disclosure: it was me, four years ago.]

EDIT: Okay, the following at least gets the recovery time below 1000. The drive gun can be any period 970 or above. The minimum separation between input signals is about twice the drive-gun period -- 1932 ticks for a p970 drive gun, 1934 ticks for a p971 drive gun, etc.

Here's a universal regulator driven at p971 and tested by a p1935 gun. 971 is prime, so the resulting oscillator has a period of 1,878,885 ticks. Every possible combination of inputs is tested, so the regulator must really be universal:

Okay, the following at least gets the recovery time below 1000.

Saved another 24 ticks with better welds...

Ah, good -- that drops the drive period below p960. Might make it a bit easier to use with p30 technology.

I really have to stop using the easy welds that you replaced, and memorize the minimal ones. Thanks!

The closest I had come was a P712+8N->P1 regulator. The input signal could come in any time, but the drive signals (testing whether an input signal had come in in the preceding interval of 712+8N ticks) had to be synchronized mod 8.

I've been looking at that old p8 project again recently. Not surprisingly, it turns out that adding bumpers into the mix can reduce the minimum drive-gun time by quite a bit. The minimum following distance is now 636 ticks, but the drive gun period has to be a multiple of 8, so that bumps the minimum up to 640. That's still quite a bit better than 712.

(Seems like we need both bouncers and bumpers here, so I didn't see how to replace everything with p4 reflectors. But I guess we could get away with converting everything to period 6, with a somewhat bigger bounding box.)

Anyone have any good ideas for cutting the drive-gun period down further, inside the same size of bounding box? Paul Chapman's original p1->p60 universal regulator is a little bigger, even if you don't count the drive gun, and it needs a two-part drive gun (LWSS and glider). But the drive gun could be as fast as period 60.

I was wondering recently if one of these reactions

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 11, rule = LifeHistory
.E17.E$2.E17.E$3E15.3E5$10.2C19.2C$11.C20.C$8.3C18.3C$8.C20.C!

could be made into a universal regulator along the same lines as the stable and p8 regulators. One of the eater-rebuilding recipe gliders would still have to overlap the lane of the drive gun, but the other could come from the side opposite the input glider... which might mean a cheap fast reflector on that side instead of an expensive slow G-to-H-to-edge-shooter. EDIT: Never mind, I think -- I checked both of these, and they seem to have more bad phases than the current eater destruction reaction.

[dvgrn]

I've been looking at that old p8 project again recently. Not surprisingly, it turns out that adding bumpers into the mix can reduce the minimum drive-gun time by quite a bit. The minimum following distance is now 636 ticks, but the drive gun period has to be a multiple of 8, so that bumps the minimum up to 640. That's still quite a bit better than 712.

Had another crazy idea about universal regulators recently. When I tried it out, it turned out to reduce the minimum period for the drive gun all the way down to 155. (!)

Challenge: how much more can the minimum drive period be reduced? It seems vaguely possible that it could be knocked all the way down to the repeat time of a syringe -- 78, or even the overclocking limit at 74. First find a faster way to get the two gliders back to rebuild the eater... and then maybe increase the period multiplication to 12 or 16 instead of 8 (a tremi-Snark and a quadri-Snark, or two quadri-Snarks?).

My first-try construction is below. The minimum time between inputs is fairly high -- 1443 ticks -- but I'm hoping that can be reduced a bit with a different H-to-2G (from the glider-pair adjustment toolkit) and alternate glider inserter.

Code: Select all

#C p1443 test gun (yellow) and p155 drive gun (white)
#C test all phases of a stable universal regulator (green)
#C resulting in a period 1443*155 = p223665 oscillator
#C (if you add an eater to this p223665 intermitting gun)
x = 335, y = 316, rule = LifeHistory

If you increase the period of the drive gun by one, the test period also goes up by one. A drive gun of period 156 looks a lot safer -- check out the first test after the eater rebuild in the p155 pattern above vs. the p156 version below. Really both are equally safe, because the timing of the scary reaction at p155 is not dependent on the timing of the test signal. It always works, as long as the drive gun is plain p155 and not something weird like an intermitting gun.

Driving the regulator at p156 requires a p1444+ test gun. 156 and 1444 are not relatively prime, there's a common factor of four, so here's a 156*1444/4 = p56316 oscillator:

The difference between p155 and p156 drive guns should mean that the mechanism will work for periods a little higher than 155, but there will be some higher drive periods that won't work without some readjustment of path lengths. Haven't worked out the details there.

EDIT: Just realized that the previous stable reflector can also be adjusted down to drive gun periods near 160, using the same kind of trick. Here it is at p153, which is unfortunately the minimum due to the use of an unsuppressed R64 at one point -- otherwise the drive period could drop down to 80 or below.

The system actually gets an eater back in place after only seven cycles at p153, not eight -- but we don't have a septi-Snark. Luckily the mechanism is self-correcting, so after one cycle, the eater doesn't get back in place until eight gliders have passed.

I think with a slightly slower drive gun, it might work to switch from a quadri-Snark to a semi-Snark, and have just six gliders pass through before the eater returns -- could shorten up the loops again and improve the allowable input signal repeat time somewhat.

Had another crazy idea about universal regulators recently. When I tried it out, it turned out to reduce the minimum period for the drive gun all the way down to 155. (!)

Challenge: how much more can the minimum drive period be reduced? It seems vaguely possible that it could be knocked all the way down to the repeat time of a syringe -- 78, or even the overclocking limit at 74. First find a faster way to get the two gliders back to rebuild the eater... and then maybe increase the period multiplication to 12 or 16 instead of 8 (a tremi-Snark and a quadri-Snark, or two quadri-Snarks?).

Got around to a fresh construction attempt last night. This version can be run with a p120 drive gun, and it seems like there's still quite a bit of room for improvement:

Code: Select all

x = 302, y = 212, rule = LifeHistory

The p1087 gun at left tests all phases of the regulator, resulting in a p130440 oscillator. (1085 is minimal but not relatively prime to 120.)

I _think_ that with some increase in size, adding extra period multiplier/reflectors and lengthening the signal paths, this one could get adjusted all the way down to the theoretical minimum drive gun period, somewhere around 78. This would not be due to the recovery time of the initial syringe; the limitation has to do with how quickly the top glider inserter can sneak an eater-rebuilding glider into the drive stream.

With the right search technique it seems as if it should be possible to put together a really compact universal regulator with about half the bounding box area of this one. I just haven't been able to dig up a lucky combination with the correct timing yet.

EDIT: Here's an alternate connection that improves the bounding box but not the recovery time, and also has a more reasonable glider output. Minimum test signal spacing is 1089 ticks... which may not be a nice round number, but at least it's a nice square number:

I haven't tried swapping out the top glider inserter, so maybe that's the next thing to knock the bounding box down a little farther. Looks like an RNE-19 edge shooter might work there, or the BNE14 except that I don't think a p120 drive gun can be used with the BNE14. Maybe there are other transparent-lane inserters that would be better, I haven't really done a full survey yet.

Looks like an RNE-19 edge shooter might work there, or the BNE14 except that I don't think a p120 drive gun can be used with the BNE14. Maybe there are other transparent-lane inserters that would be better, I haven't really done a full survey yet.

Just tried a slightly more thorough survey. As usual, Herschel conduits seem to be just about as awkward as they can possibly be, when I'm trying to fit them together and get the glider output colors right.

I still suspect that there's a combination of H-to-2G and edge shooters (or transparent-lane H-to-Gs) out there somewhere, that takes up a lot less space, and allows for a drive gun period lower than 120, and/or a test gun period less than 1000. Haven't found it yet, but I've eliminated a lot of possibilities, as the saying goes.

Here's a reasonably nice new universal regulator, drive gun period 256 (top), test gun period 1212+ (left). It's just a little simpler than the p120-drive-gun, p1089-test-gun universal regulator posted above, but obviously it's a little slower as well. For a lot of applications that won't matter, and maybe it will be handy to have an example with a power-of-two drive gun.

To improve the drive gun period, it would be necessary to add a couple more bends in the glider loop on the right, to allow the multiplication factor to be increased to 6 or 8. But I don't think anything as low as p120 will work -- would have to replace the SW-2 inserter at the top with a faster inserter somehow.

Probably the next thing to do is make a thorough collection of all the known compact H-to-2Gs, especially all the ones that don't include an SW-2 glider (since that glider tends to get absorbed by a syringe catalyst). Maybe one of them allows for a lucky connection.

Here are the edge-shooter circuits I looked at, with relative timing ratings. When I attached two of the "0" components to the regulator mechanism, the timing ended up 4 (+/-8N) ticks off.* So to fix that I had to replace each of the "0" components with a "-2" component, and that made it possible to synchronize the gliders correctly.

* I couldn't really use one of those NW31 0-rated components at the top of the universal regulator, anyway, because then the drive-gun glider can't get past the NW31 -- would have to add an edge-shooter to get it in to test the central eater. But starting with two "0"-rated components made the math a lot less error-prone -- just a matter of starting with a rating of 4 and replacing edge shooters to make the rating go to zero.

Well, I guess I am not 100% confident it works, but here is some not-so-stable universal regulator:

to work as intended, the repeat-time would be N+30 (or something close...) where N is the period the regularizing-clock; however, if that is violated, as long as delays between gliders are syringe friendly, nothing would derail, but gliders will go missing in the output. There is probably some minor adjustment to improve that repeat-time, but that is likely to be meaningful it one tries to have a regularizing clock with period lower than the syringe allows (which in principle is possible). Well, hopefully I did not misunderstand what that universal regulator should be...
enjoy!

Well, I guess I am not 100% confident it works, but here is some not-so-stable universal regulator... hopefully I did not misunderstand what that universal regulator should be...

You certainly have the right idea in general, and p30N is where universal regulators got their start. Let's say the goal is to align some kind of infrequent input signal to match the period of the circuitry that you want to feed the signal into. If that period is P, then at worst it should be possible to use a drive gun of period 30P, and the connection will work.

One use case where a p30N solution can't be made to work is when you're trying to make a pattern HashLife-friendly. For example, the old pi calculator used a universal regulator based on p8 Herschel technology, to avoid ending up with a multiple of 30 in the clock period.

The original universal regulator looked like this:

Code: Select all

#C Improved Universal Regulator - Paul Chapman 22 Mar 03
#C 
#C Converts a glider in any phase to a glider synced to any desired period.
#C Speed and compression under 1,000.
#C Input p1 gliders are converted to p30 by the first regulator stage.
#C The p30 gliders are then converted to p30n by the second stage.
#C The user can patch in any p30n (n>=2) second-stage gun.
#C So for output period m, choose n so m | 30n.
#C 
#C In this test circuit, a p1049 (prime-period) gun fires input gliders.
#C p120 output gliders increment an sbm, which therefore counts input gliders.
#C The first input glider is in the "most awkward" phase.

Obviously your boat-testing mechanism is a big improvement on recovery time over these old 2003 p30N models, let alone over the stable mechanisms in this thread.

One thing I like about the stable mechanism is that it's a lot simpler to understand and explain: if you shoot down a key eater, a drive-gun glider will no longer get stopped by the eater so it will trigger a circuit that rebuilds the eater and sends out an output signal. All of these p30 mechanisms seem to have a lot more going on than that, with missing gliders in various streams conspiring to produce an output by seemingly magical iterated double-negative logic.

[Jormungant]

Well, the much simpler construction I put in the p30 thread is alone emulating the 2 constructions you linked (and now with repeat time of 78)

Now the regularizing clock can be anything, namely a p91 gun in the example I linked (as opposed to p30/60/90). Obviously, I am not using stable circuitry, but the p30 phase as no impact on the output (unless incoming gliders violates the repeat-time)

That being said, the p30 phase might cause a glider to appear 91 gens later, but no glider would disappear in the process.

[Jormungant]

Well, I affirm I actually am 100% confident it works, so here is some very stable universal regulator:

Any complains now?

Well, I affirm I actually am 100% confident it works, so here is some very stable universal regulator:

Wow, that's impressively compact, and with a fast recovery time as well. Congratulations!

Great find! And it can be run with a much faster drive gun than the p91 one you have there:

#C [[ ZOOM 2 X -17 Y -25 STEP 20 ]]

That's a p74 drive gun, tested with a p223 prime-period glider pair gun. The closest spaced gliders are 110 ticks apart, which I believe is the minimum for p74. The first two gliders arriving at the regulator show the worst case, between T=576 and T=658; if those signals were 109 ticks apart the mechanism would fail.

The quadri-Snarks at the bottom are just to show that the regulator doesn't change the number of output gliders, it just aligns them (in this case) to p74N.

With some welding magic, got to shrink the bounding box by 1, now has a 5-function still life ^^'

That being said, for compactness, if one can have a second copy of the regularizing clock, (or use another output from the p256 gun, for example) most parts of the track but the core reaction is redundant.

... for compactness, if one can have a second copy of the regularizing clock, (or use another output from the p256 gun, for example) most parts of the track but the core reaction is redundant.

True enough. Here's a random sample of that idea, using another stream liberated from the p74 gun instead of a signal splitter inside the regulator:

The only assumption is that only 1 glider is inbound in both channels. What if the that number of inbound glider was unknown for each of the two input channel (like some kind of OR gate with merged inputs)? We would need to make a pattern that allows only 1 glider to pass, and then reset the mecanism to allow one glider to pass later. Well, that's not an issue, just add 2 universal regulator at the entrance of each channels! The original pattern I posted never required the "clock" to be regular:

x = 336, y = 318, rule = LifeHistory

et voila, the safe universal and gate.

[dvgrn]

Here is a corollary of the newer universal regulator, the universal AND gate (or universal waiter). Basically waits for 2 gliders and outputs one, without any assumption on who comes first and at what time...

Looks good! Here's some prior art by David Bell and Chris Cain, in the asynchronous AND gate department.

The following message mentions some ideas for another possible use case: two signals may or may not come in at any point in a given time period. But if you don't get an output after N ticks, you know they're not both coming -- so then you want to be able to reset the mechanism safely.

[Jormungant]

Yes, I was not sure if calling this a AND gate is proper, it only output "ON" at the end of the day, you just have to wait (there is no n tick cycles to reset), well, maybe the better name is stable universal waiter... well, that problem of and gate with reset is now trivial, just use the regularizator on both input with the same clock, and use any AND/OR/XOR gate apparatus, which now can rely on knowing the exact glider phases. The only thing left is if the condition is that input "B" must exactly happen N ticks before input "A" happened (not controlled by a global clock)

[Jormungant]

Here is another valid "regulation" operation. There should be many more of these.

would be nice to find more with different glider output direction. Or even better, if that was a conduit that get short-circuited instead ^^.

However, the "holy grail" would be to instead produce a glider from the spark-boat interaction. that spark would need to be part of some bigger decaying pattern that resolve either way (boat/no-boat), and the glider must escape unharmed... so that's challenging ^_^

Addendum: Just noticed some very peculiar reaction, if that can be fixed that would be amazing ^^

Well, I would love to properly supress the B inconditionnaly before it interacts with the produced glider (feel free to try)...

This could be used as regulator even if what I ask is impossible, but the recovery time would be horrible (though I say that, it used to be horrible^2 ^_^):
