hi hi
so i'm pretty sure anyone who still bothers to post on the forums is well-aware of the concept of methuselahs: a pattern that takes a significantly large number of generations in order to stabilize and tends to become much larger than its initial configuration at some point during its evolution.
but what about a pattern that has a large amount of cells/bounding box that will stabilize in an unnaturally short amount of time? that's what this thread is dedicated to. i decided to call the concept
gas, because gas tends to disperse in a unnaturally quick manner, like so
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 5, rule = B3/S23
b2o$3ob2o$b2ob3o$3ob2o$2o!
so uh
ight ima head out

There are at least two simple solutions.
Code: Select all
x = 19, y = 19, rule = B3/S23

Code: Select all
x = 23, y = 19, rule = B3/S23

Edit: Here are two solutions with density approaching one as the area approaches infinity.
Code: Select all
x = 18, y = 18, rule = B3/S23

Code: Select all

I’ll probably suggest to move this to the sandbox?
And, @math and code, see cell and bounding box?

All four of the patterns that I posted here can be infinitely extended.

I mean that smaller bounding box is preferred(, and it doesn’t need to die at once)

I think that SquishyBoi asked for a large bounding box if possible.

Also, while dying after a few more generations would still be unnaturally short, I think that dying after one generation would be the best example.
