The best partials don't result in a specific output at all, but instead apply an unusual arrangement of catalysts to move the reaction somewhere well-separated from them. Then you apply even more catalysts.
Is this good?

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 31, rule = LifeHistory
A.2A$3A6.2A.A$.A7.A.2A2$2.2A$2.2A16$.3D3.2A$.D5.A.A$3D6.A$9.2A3$3.2A$3.A$4.3A$6.A!
Originally, I figured that I'd delete the blinker and try to get something out of the ∏, so I started looking through the ∏-accepting conduits. I found that the placement of the second fishhook is good for moving a ∏ a distance off from PF*56W, but leaving the blinker turns out to work even better.
Before I remembered your post, I managed to get an I output that might eventually be useful if the Life community keeps finding more I-accepting conduits.

Code: Select all

x = 41, y = 31, rule = LifeHistory
24.A.2A$24.3A6.2A.A$25.A7.A.2A2$26.2A$26.2A11$7.2D$8.D$8.2D$9.2D2$5.2A18.3D3.2A$6.A18.D5.A.A$3.3A18.3D6.A$3.A29.2A3$27.2A$27.A$28.3A$30.A!
I expect that this reaction will result in at least three conduits with usable outputs if it receives enough person-minutes of attention from experienced conduit-makers.



Edit: Is there a suitable domino sparker and a way to use the ∏?

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 31, rule = LifeHistory

Yes, this is the kind of chaos-over-there behavior I referred to and like to see. Will update this post if I find any new conduits with it.

Thank you. I had a feeling that dependent conduits that first interact with the Herschel after the Herschel bottleneck were under-investigated. I'll keep looking for more.



Edit: This doesn't look as promising, but it's possible that someone can find another catalysis that makes the region keep moving to the left for longer.

That ∏ does have pretty good clearance, although it doesn't work with PF*39C.
Also, as Kazyan's post that I quoted states, the most promising part is that it shoots chaos a long way off, not that a ∏ appears at the end. For example, here's a B→R if someone replaces the fishhooks.

x = 42, y = 48, rule = LifeHistory

Excellent! Here's a solution, but it seems somewhat non-miraculous:
There are some aspects that might be improvable, e.g. using a different Herschel conduit that doesn't require a bandersnatch before the syringe, but I suspect that the only way to get the repeat time under 300 ticks is to find a different catalyst that leaves another object that annihilates the blinker.

By the way, have you seen my first proposal for 16-glider universal construction? I'm not sure whether or not there's enough clearance for all of the necessary universal operations.



Edit: I found a periodic solution.

About that fishhook placement in PF*56W (and other ∏-accepting conduits), placing a block causes the chaos to go even farther.

Code: Select all

x = 27, y = 25, rule = DoubleB3S23
2A$2A18$14.3C$14.C.C$14.C.C6.2C$23.C.C$25.C$25.2C!


Edit: Shooting a glider at the back of a ∏ makes the ∏ much more active. Can the glider be replaced by a catalyst?

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 15, rule = B3/S23
12b3o$14bo$12b3o10$bo$b2o$obo!
By the way, how common is that region that makes a bi-block and two phi sparks? It probably isn't very uncommon since is occurred twice with spatial and temporal proximity.



Another edit: Here is a simple way to create long-lasting chaos from a two-glider octomino.

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 11, rule = B3/S23
5bo$5b2o$3b3o$3b2o4$2b2o$3bo$3o$o!


Yet another edit: Here is another example of the active region that creates a bi-block and two phi sparks by itself.

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 9, rule = B3/S23

Is there anything known that can edgeshoot the input object, to connect to this partial conduit?

I still think that there would be a lot more progress made on inventing conduits, and a lot less time wasted, if people would start their explorations with a known conduit that produces an output. If you just start with some active reaction floating magically in empty space, there's no guarantee that there's any way to get the active reaction to that location, and you don't know where you can and can't safely place catalysts.

Here is another way to edgeshoot chaos that I found. I'm not sure how realistic getting the ∏ in would be because the access path is wider than PF*39C, but the path is at a diagonal, and the ∏ is a little farther in.

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

Arrgh. If I had a nickel for every pi-to-X that somebody posted that turned out not to connect to anything, I'd have... uh, several nickels.

Pi-heptominoes are troublemakers -- they seem like they ought to be easy to connect, but there are surprisingly few conduits that can edge-shoot them with any kind of decent clearance. Unless you're willing to build the pi out of a couple of synchronized gliders, anyway, but that usually pretty much cancels out any potential usefulness for the candidate conduit.

Arrgh. If I had a nickel for every pi-to-X that somebody posted that turned out not to connect to anything, I'd have... uh, several nickels.

Pi-heptominoes are troublemakers -- they seem like they ought to be easy to connect, but there are surprisingly few conduits that can edge-shoot them with any kind of decent clearance. Unless you're willing to build the pi out of a couple of synchronized gliders, anyway, but that usually pretty much cancels out any potential usefulness for the candidate conduit.
I managed to make a periodic version that connects to the previous ∏-making conduit that I found.

Code: Select all

x = 51, y = 46, rule = LifeHistory
28.2A$.2A26.A$2.A26.A.A$2.A.AB24.2A$3.2AB$5.6B14.2B$5.4BC2B2.6B4.4B.2B$4.3B3C23B.6B.2B$.AB.4BC34B$A.A41B$.A2B.39B$2.B.39B$3.38B$2.33B.4B$.21B3.5B.2B3.4B$4B2.16B4.4B7.2B$3B3.15B3.5B12.A$2B2.9B.3B7.2A15.A$B3.4BDB2D2B11.A14.3A$3.5B3D2B9.3A$3.6BD2B10.A17.3A$3.10B$3.9B24.2A2.3A2.2A$2.11B23.A.A2.A2.A.A$3.10B24.A7.A3.2A$3.9B36.A.A$4.3B3D2B.2B22.A7.A2.A$4.5BD4B2A20.A.A2.A2.A.A.A$.B2.3B4D3B2A20.2A2.3A2.2A.2A$2AB.8B.2B$2A11B27.3A$.B.10B$5.7B28.3A$3.4B3D3B28.A$3.2A2.6B2A26.A$4.A3.5BA.A$.3A4.3B4.A$.A13.2A$10.A$10.A$8.A.2A$7.2A$11.A$10.2A$11.2A$10.3A!
In my opinion, this might be salvageable as the beginning of a stable conduit (although that wouldn't be very useful unless someone finds a stable way of dealing with the blinker from the ∏-making conduit that A for awesome and I found) for multiple reasons. First of all, using only one fishhook still produces some directional chaos. The problem is that one of the directions that the chaos expands in takes it too close to the fishhook. The second fishhook prevents the first fishhook from being destroyed, but there are probably other ways to prevent the first fishhook from being destroyed and maintain directional chaos that have more input clearance.

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 6, rule = B3/S23
3o$obo$obo5b2o$8bobo$10bo$10b2o!
Also, if one adds an extra fishhook, the reaction still works.

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 20, rule = B3/S23
18b2o$18bo$16bobo$16b2o2$8b3o$8bobo$8bobo5b2o$16bobo$18bo$18b2o6$2b2o$3bo$3o$o!
This isn't encouraging in and of itself, but when the bottom fishhook is removed, the effect on the ∏ is mostly the same; we just get an unwanted wing sequence which quickly (albeit only briefly) detaches from the rest of the chaos.

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 20, rule = B3/S23
18b2o$18bo$16bobo$16b2o2$8b3o$8bobo$8bobo9$2b2o$3bo$3o$o!
This suggests that there may be a way to accomplish our goal by modifying the above reaction, either by replacing the fishhook with another catalyst that does a slightly different catalysis, adding another catalyst, or by adding a bait object that we will then try to restore. Supporting the possibility of the second idea, there are at least two ways to make the top fishhook work with a spark.

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 20, rule = LifeHistory
18.2A$18.A$16.A.A$16.2A2$8.3A$8.A.A$8.A.A9$2.2A$3.A$3A$A!
#C [[ PASTEMODE COPY PASTET 12 PASTE C! 16 6 ]]

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 20, rule = LifeHistory
18.2A$18.A$16.A.A$16.2A2$8.3A$8.A.A$8.A.A9$2.2A$3.A$3A$A!
#C [[ PASTEMODE COPY PASTET 16 PASTE C! 16 8 ]]
A way to add another catalyst slightly farther back that successfully suppressed the wing sequence would allow this to follow the ∏-making conduit that I mentioned earlier.

Code: Select all

x = 48, y = 46, rule = LifeHistory
28.2A$.2A26.A$2.A26.A.A$2.A.AB24.2A$3.2AB$5.6B14.2B$5.4BC2B2.6B4.4B.2B$4.3B3C23B.6B.2B$.AB.4BC34B$A.A41B$.A2B.39B$2.B.39B$3.38B$2.33B.4B$.21B3.5B.2B3.4B$4B2.16B4.4B7.2B$3B3.15B3.5B15.2A$2B2.9B.3B7.2A14.2A2.A$B3.4BDB2D2B11.A15.A3.3A$3.5B3D2B9.3A13.3A6.A$3.6BD2B10.A15.A$3.10B$3.9B$2.11B$3.10B$3.9B$4.3B3D2B.2B$4.5BD4B2A$.B2.3B4D3B2A$2AB.8B.2B$2A11B$.B.10B$5.7B$3.4B3D3B$3.2A2.6B2A$4.A3.5BA.A$.3A4.3B4.A$.A13.2A$10.A$10.A$8.A.2A$7.2A$11.A$10.2A$11.2A$10.3A!
By the way, is that ∏ seen facing upwards at generation 235 extractable? I think that it's extractable. A signal from the fishhooks would have had to travel 16 rows in 19 generations in order to reach the bottom of the newly-formed ∏ (and 16 rows in 18 generations in order to reach the bottom of the ∏'s hexaplet parent), which is nearly the speed of light, and I think that that means that the ∏ is extractable. (The Elementary Conduits Collection only has two ∏→∏ conduits, and neither has a step time of 31.)
Speaking of only having two ∏→∏ conduits, how do we not have a PF30 conduit (extracting the ∏ that already forms in the ∏-heptomino's evolution 30 generations later and 9 cells ahead)?
I am tentatively considering myself back.

Merely misguided expectations that it should be chainable like the P15 version:

I agree that it shouldn't have to connect to itself, but its output doesn't seem to connect to anything else either. Can you provide an example demonstrating connectibility?

stable pi to pi on the pi-wave track, likely known and not very pleasant in the spacing, esp they can not be attached to each other:

Note how they differ from the working p15 pi-to-pi conduit in length of a single unit. I may call that PF60 instead of PF30, as the pi-pentadecathlon interaction leaves some junk behind the pi at generation 30 that supports the pi to go further.

Clock's predecessors are all larger than it, and clock itself is very fragile.
