A blocker can turn an E-sequence into two Herschels and some junk that cleanly reflects one of the Herschel's first natural glider.

Having to clean up with a reflected FNG kind of ruins the repeat time... but a conduit with a transparent eater is quite an achievement!

I would put this in Current News on the LifeWiki, except that I'm having a hard time figuring out whether there's a known connectable conduit that produces that octomino as an output.

-- I guess this doesn't really fit in the periodic elementary conduits thread, since it's a composite conduit made up of a dirty O-to-H plus a bouncer. It's not really a Herschel conduit either until someone can supply a workable H-to-O ... but until periodic conduits get a lot more posts, I would say it's not worth subdividing threads any further.

Kazyan had already found the reaction months ago. I view that, not the actual conduit, as the accomplishment because one transparent reaction can be used in multiple conduits.

I'd prefer if you didn't mention it in the news for two reasons. One, I had already found a stable O→G and O→H. Two, I'm worried that if we display a transparent fishhook reaction on the LifeWiki, new users will think that that's actually something worth searching for.

Kazyan felt it worthwhile to look into conduits that intake a two-glider octomino, so maybe he already knows of ways to produce a clean two-glider octomino as an output. Then again, maybe it just an acknowledgement that the two-glider octomino is common. The best way to find out would be to simply ask Kazyan.

What exactly are the rules on what belongs here instead of the other periodic conduits thread? I figured that starting or ending with a Herschel would be sufficient, but apparently, that's not. Does the conduit have to start and end with a Herschel? Do periodic conduits with B inputs or outputs also belong in this thread?

Sorry, what I meant to say is that this thread does seem to be the best match for a periodic conduit starting or ending with a Herschel.

It's not a perfect match unless an H-to-O is known -- but if the 2G synthesis works, we can put something big'n'ugly together for that easily enough.

I mentioned the periodic elementary conduits thread as a place where this post didn't seem to fit. We're really jointly making up the rules for these various threads as we go along.

Unfortunately, using the two-glider synthesis would require one of the gliders to go through the loaf, and attempting to fix that with a kickback reaction causes the kickback reaction to hit one of the unices. However, the two-glider octomino is common enough that I'm sure that something will turn up eventually as long as enough people are looking for it when making conduits. As I said before, Kazyan might already have one or more ways to make a clean two-glider octomino.
I am tentatively considering myself back.

well, this works, and that was a close call too ^^'. Well I am not sure where you found that stable P-to-E, but I guess it might be included eventually, but I think it only works with that periodic b-to-p (?)

It's based off of the H→E that you showed me. The intermediate block can be replaced by a fishhook-type or snake-type catalyst, as in HF135Q and PF31Q. The fact that the block can be replaced with a snake-type catalyst is also suggested by the way in which the block is destroyed.

That's probably the case. That periodic conduit is my go-to conduit whenever I need to demonstrate that a pi-accepting conduit is connectable. I suspect that it can probably be made p1, as the sparker is only necessary for cleanup, and the fishhook-type catalysis in the bottom-right is simply enough that it could conceivably be modified. If a p1 version is indeed found, it would yield at least three connectable, stable conduits, including that way to produce a pi with phenomenal output clearance.
I am tentatively considering myself back.

I figured that it would be fairly easy because finding suitable sparkers with lower periods tends to be easier, but as you said…
