(Engineered) diehards

[moebius]

b3s23love: And I was incorrect about your contribution. The 507 is the number of loaves and you increased their number by 10, so you increased a 497 in the equation to 507.

This also means that I was incorrect in my estimate of the second fuse loaves with my inclusion of 2 toads. It should be 121^(121^(121^(135361 * 121^497 / 15)))

Have a happy day,

After the above showed up the following with a lifetime of 1120271 appeared (not much of an improvement ):

This is amazing! It sure beats my best 32x32 diehard (31133 gens). I'm glad to see that someone's working on smaller diehards. (And that I didn't waste time trying to optimize my "gun clearing debris, with spaceship chasing" patterns larger than 40x40.)

Do you have any ideas for improving the 16x16 case? My best lasts for 1456 gens:

If this could be tucked in by two columns, the result would be 121^^(121^(121^(121^(121^(135361 * 121^497 / 15)))))

Well, it looks like that's not actually an improvement. The shillelagh-snake-whatever gets destroyed by the tub. I'll let some other LLS freak fix it and cut another column off.

[calcyman]

b3s23love: And I was incorrect about your contribution. The 507 is the number of loaves and you increased their number by 10, so you increased a 497 in the equation to 507.

This also means that I was incorrect in my estimate of the second fuse loaves with my inclusion of 2 toads. It should be 121^(121^(121^(135361 * 121^497 / 15)))

It's actually 121^(121^(121^(132961 * 121^497 / 15))). It looks like the number of loaves in the first fuse affects both the mantissa and exponent here, suggesting an empirical closed form of:

(240n + 13861) 121^n / 15 + p(n)

for the initial distance of the block from the mechanism. (The polynomial p(n) is positive but so hugely dominated by the 121^n term that it doesn't really affect the approximation but means that our approximation is a lower bound on the actual lifespan.)

Would you like to share how you calculated this (and how my trivial optimisation affected it)?

b3s23love: I imagine that calcyman has a pile of equations and analysis similar to the equations I posted a in my 8:13am post yesterday.

Actually no: I run the whole pattern in lifelib's hashlife for enough time (approximately 2^3600 generations) to cause the block to be created, and then use lifelib's pattern-matching functionality to find the actual coordinates of the block. (It might have been pulled a few times from its initial position, but not very far.) Then, I convert this integer to base 11 -- in this case, it was 67290808080808080808080808...08080808082AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA724. Then, I multiply by 15 to get that recurring sequence of '08's to turn to zeroes, giving 9099400000000...0000000030AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA5925. Ignoring the insignificant tail after the very long string of zero digits, this is 132961 * 121^497. But then we need to divide by the factor of 15 that was introduced, giving 132961 * 121^497 / 15.

This method of running the pattern tends to be more reliable than trying to analyse it (but of course is limited, because hashlife can only take you so far), largely because it's free from human error.

EDIT: the other advantage of simulating it for so long is that we can see the final state of the mechanism and then restore the crabstretcher and c/5d spaceship in order to be able to continue reasoning about the diehard:

Well, it looks like that's not actually an improvement. The shillelagh-snake-whatever gets destroyed by the tub. I'll let some other LLS freak fix it and cut another column off.

I got it to work by replacing the problematic tub with a toad and pulling in the OTT. Unfortunately at a expense of two light-green tubs.

Would someone like to check this assembly works (especially that it self-destructs properly)? EDIT 1: Fixed a crab that wasn’t self-destructing properly.I don’t think it could be compactified, though. Also, could someone color-code this like the original tetrational diehard?

Does it fit in the 100x100 bounding box though?

No, but I asked if someone could compactify it. E.g. use the reductions that are in previous diehards and LLS the parts that are new.

If this could be tucked in by two columns, the result would be 121^^(121^(121^(121^(121^(135361 * 121^497 / 15)))))

x = 111, y = 91

Unfortunately, I need to sleep right now.

oops, this doesn't quite work

I believe that this means that Tim Coe's diehard is still the record-holder at this point.

[toroidalet]

I got it to work by replacing the problematic tub with a toad and pulling in the OTT. Unfortunately at a expense of two light-green tubs.

Can you tell me why the lime-green tubs had to go? This pattern seems to work fine (there are other improvements):

I must say: I never would have expected the old block-destroyer toad to appear in a record diehard again.

I'm not entirely convinced -- if you compare your version (left) to Tim Coe's version (right), the crabstretcher and fuse both start out translated southwest by (2,2), which means that it takes 8 extra generations for a glider to ignite the fuse. But the crab requires the approaching fuse to be in the correct phase modulo 24 generations, so it causes an explosion upon impacting the crab:

No, EvinZL's does not work. Mine and b3s23love's do, though (I checked).
Apologies to Tim Coe: I didn't see your latest diehard and thought EvinZL had come up with the shillelagh-snake monstrosity.

Interestingly, the length of the fuse at the start does not matter; it will make the same amount of loaves in the end (the easiest way to see this is to note that the distance between the crabstretcher and the fuse-triggering glider is constant). So we would want the fuse to be as long as possible to make all the loaves as close as possible.

[EvinZL]

For a rather small improvement, replacing a toad with a barge with tail absorbs an extra glider pair from the second sawtooth

No, EvinZL's does not work. Mine and b3s23love's do, though (I checked).

Right, but they have the same height of the second tower, don't they?

In terms of improving the height of the second tower, we can use a fuse to extract a one-time signal into the currently unused northwest corner, and then we can do arbitrary delaying tactics in that nice swathe of empty space to get the ignition to happen in the correct phase:

We might be able to remove (or at least restyle) the still-life motif that's currently tied to the boat being crabstretched. Since the ignition will now come from the north, rather than the east, this should leave room for one or two more bait objects to extend the second tower.

I'm currently looking for such improvements. For now, I reduced the still life by 2 cells:

EDIT: I meant that I’m looking for reductions to the still life. I don’t think it’s possible, though.

In terms of improving the height of the second tower, we can use a fuse to extract a one-time signal into the currently unused northwest corner, and then we can do arbitrary delaying tactics in that nice swathe of empty space to get the ignition to happen in the correct phase:

[RLE]

We might be able to remove (or at least restyle) the still-life motif that's currently tied to the boat being crabstretched. Since the ignition will now come from the north, rather than the east, this should leave room for one or two more bait objects to extend the second tower.

Would you like to explain more how this would work? I have no idea how we could restyle that SL and fit a signal there.

[EvinZL]

The empty space is bothering me, so have a few more small improvements

No, but I asked if someone could compactify it. E.g. use the reductions that are in previous diehards and LLS the parts that are new.

Can someone actually compact it?

Amazingly, it only took LLS 6 minutes to find this one.

Right, but they have the same height of the second tower, don't they?

If you mean the second loaf tower, I'm pretty sure mine is longer (if you ignore the barge with tail, but it can be easily added). However, that doesn't really matter anymore.

Would you like to explain more how this would work? I have no idea how we could restyle that SL and fit a signal there.

The idea, as I understand it, is to have a fuse triggered by the last boat (or a replacement object) that sends a signal into the empty northwest corner and bounces it around to get the correct timing before smashing into the activation from the other side:

I'm not sure if it would get us to 4 block destroyers, but it could let us optimise the timing to add more rows and bring back some of those earlier improvements.

[moebius]

Hi All,

Dean: This whole effort is a great exercise in resource management. We have limited area and we can spend it on a variety of efforts like single use infrastructure, multi-use infrastructure, in isolation to generate delay, in conjunction with infrastructure to generate multipliers of delay, and destruction of infrastructure. I have not looked into very small (like 16 x 16) diehards at all.

calcyman: sending a signal back to the vast open area is an interesting idea. Other than getting the phase right on the crab light, that vast open space could also be used to put back a block destroyer or two. Lighting the fuse from the side could either be done with a spaceship or a glider. I think the geometry of things might prefer a spaceship.

Observing what is going on here and learning what is important lead me to desire more and better fuse lighters. So I set about finding some. Due to the fact that reworking the timing of the core of Pavgran's design is highly undesirable, the positioning and phase of the crab is fixed for a given lighter modulo multiples of 6 diagonal steps in or out.

The following is the best lighter that I have found. I am posting it in the form that I used to get the phase right and have not filled out the diehard.
The first salvo lights the fuse, and I made the first salvo late enough so that the end of the fuse burn does not blow up the ship:

Here is the second best lighter that I found. The fact that the lighter is spaced 3 diagonal steps from the best lighter is a nice feature. I used the same core structure as previously, only I moved the ship, deleted the first salvo, and added a bunch of tubs to make it a substantial 112 X 89 diehard. It turns out the entire value of the first fuse is slightly less than the inclusion of one more tub on the second fuse. This diehard may actually hold the delay record for several hours .

Would someone like to check this assembly works (especially that it self-destructs properly)? EDIT 1: Fixed a crab that wasn’t self-destructing properly.I don’t think it could be compactified, though. Also, could someone color-code this like the original tetrational diehard?

You can move the crab further in

The crab explodes; that’s why I had to do this.
My 50th post!
EDIT 1: (Reworded previous sentences and added gen-0 version) This is a gen-0 diehard (I posted it before, but I rewinded it and added a few ships) that I think it's unlikely to compact, but I still post it for completeness and for someone to actually do it.
(EDIT 2: Added EvinZL’s barge with tail optimisation that I missed)

If we want to use the yellow loaf fuse, that would require shaving 3 columns while keeping 4 green block destroyers (or finding some other way).

Moebius: Nice work! Would you mind sharing some of the other ignitions that didn't quite fit? There are other cleanups for the wickstretcher with different timings that might make them better than the cap on table.

Obviously, there's the wretched cleanup I used above, where the crabstretcher is 8 generations ahead of the one-glider cleanup. I also found this one, where it is 7 generations behind:
