Can the heart of the snark be replaced with an oscillator, too?
Yes if one adds the necessary guns or finds a more suitable block factory.

Is the discovery that adding one cell restores the beehive or that the reaction forms two induction coils stabilizing each other?

It might make a dot spark to X converter, although I don't think that that would be very useful.
If the beehive were put in a position relative to the R-pentomino so that said beehive could serve as a one-glider seed for said R-pentomino, that would be more interesting.
I am tentatively considering myself back.

If we had a dot-to-X converter with a reasonable insertion site for the dot, it would immediately become versatile and important in signal circuitry, since many conduits throw off sparks. I'll take a look at replacing the lower beehive-and-eater bait soon.

That might be useful as a synthesis component.

Chances are that a cheaper way to construct that row of cells directly could be found, so the synthesis wouldn't be quite so random-seeming.

Why is the loaf your concern, rather than that 23-bit thing? The loaf is easy enough.
Also this is the mechanism:

There are much cheaper ways to turn a boat into an eater. That can be done with a mere four gliders, and when the boat is in that position, a side-effect would be the additional connecting bit.

I meant a cheaper way to construct either that line of cells or something similar.

The 23-cell still life is useless if it can't actually be used-The loaf is what makes this whole thing work.
EDIT: In other words, while the 23-bit still life is definitely more difficult to construct, there's no point if the loaf can't be inserted. If the loaf can't be inserted, then we might as well not care about the 23-bit still life.

Oh; you were only trying to turn the block into a boat, not a fishhook.

The loaf is difficult to insert but we don't need the loaf anyways. I'm running spark_search on the spark I gave somewhere above, so let's see.
(Also it gave Golly kind of a hard time:)

I wasn't trying to turn it into anything particular, but JLS revealed that it could be turned into an eater. The problem is that the loaf needs to be inserted somehow. There are two cases:
1. The loaf can't be inserted, so there's no point in synthesizing the big still life anyways.
2. The loaf can be inserted, so now we need to worry about synthesizing the big still life.
While synthesizing the big still life is significantly more difficult, it still depends directly on the loaf insertion to actually be used.

I think that attempting to synthesize the region that bubblegum pointed out or something similar will be easier and cheaper.

How are they the same reaction? I don't see the resemblance. Sorry if it's obvious.
Look at generation 37 of your pattern. Otismo's pattern appears to have removed objects that are not necessary for the LWSS's creation. However, doing that causes the LWSS to crash into a century instead of escaping, so otismo had to add other objects in order to suppress the junk that would have been suppressed by the objects that otismo removed.
this is a different reaction - but it is clean :

a little under a month ago i found this odd little p3:
Code: Select all
x = 9, y = 12, rule = B3/S23
3bo$b3o$o3b2o$bo2bobo$b2obobo$3bobo$bobo$bo2bo$4obo$5bo$5bob2o$4b2ob2o
!
it looks like a combination of
candelabra and
trice tongs, but it's neither one.
i also "found" this:
Code: Select all
x = 9, y = 9, rule = B3/S23
5bo$b2obobo$b2obo2bo$5b3o$b3o$o4b3o$bobobo2bo$2b2obobo$6bo!
which is just this:

x = 9, y = 9, rule = B3/S23
4b2o$2b3obo$2bobo2bo$5b3o$b3o$o4b3o$bobobo2bo$2b2obobo$6bo!
but the p4 part is replaced with a p1 part.
