apgoucher has just mentioned on discord that he plans to write a full article once a general-case proof (on the phoenices) has been completed, so perhaps all we can do at this point is wait.dbell wrote: ↑January 12th, 2024, 8:52 amI was reading the latest wiki news and a link to discord was used.
I object to this practice. Unlike the Life forums, discord is not generally usable by normal users.
I don't mind the power users using discord to communicate results among themselves, but it should not be seen where normal users are required to use it.
If a result is important enough, it should be written as an article as part of the wiki.
I for one refuse to use a site such as discord, and I feel excluded.

IMPORTANT EDIT: EvinZL has just posted a short summary of the proof on the oscillator discussion thread (https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=175654#p175654)
Meanwhile if you would really like to access the current progress without accessing the discord, you can download very's json file on the main cgol channel on the discord and run confocal's script to convert this into text. There is information about the proof in the json file (though without a good summary of the progress it might not be as easy to navigate)
