Imagine if this could be completed at P3... This might lead to a true-period 51 gun.

At the moment, it looks like that 10 is the minimum period for a extensible glider shuttle.
In StateInvestigator, the current minimum period is 6, so if the following pattern have Life counterparts, we can get that number down to 6: (pattern on the right to show extensibility)

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 11, rule = StateInvestigator

I looked into a certain type of glider shuttle a while back, and a p4 version is theoretically possible.

EDIT: I was messing around with JLS and the frontend showed up. A lot more searching happened after that, and then I saw something very loosely connected in JLS. It was this.

So then I realized that an ordinary domino spark could support it, and after that, I just hooked up a known domino sparker to it.

TBH I saw it first from Discord Lounge but watching it for the second time doesn't make me less excited
I'm pretty sure this deserves a place for jslife-osc-extended-collection-from-Sokwe I think

The mechanism where two gliders and a pentadecathlon collide and become two pi's works at p50 and p59 as well, as can be seen in the respective glider guns. Can we make new oscillators with this design?

[Scorbie]

V sparker-based queen bee shuttle.

Is there a stable eater that uses the beehive-shifting reaction, similarly to how the eater 3 uses the loaf shifting-reaction?

Unfortunately no, and it would be a really really nice discovery if someone found one.

[GUYTU6J]

A pseudo-period stabilization of the p47 wick, inspired from wwei23's idea of using a 2c/3 signal:

Do we have an alternative catalyst that can replace an eater 1 in the period-47 pre-pulsar hassler and trigger a signal fizzle? That way we can construct new p47 oscillators.

Random p32 oscillator

I love this! I've always thought LOM had a lot of potential for hassling, similar to traffic lights and honey farms. It's nice to see another example.

Do we have an alternative catalyst that can replace an eater 1 in the period-47 pre-pulsar hassler and trigger a signal fizzle? That way we can construct new p47 oscillators.

I don't know of any way to get any sort of fizzle from that type of eater reaction, unless you count eater 2. The reactions in the p47 pre-pulsar shuttle don't seem very fizzle-friendly to me (I could always be wrong, of course).

[wwei23]

After some effort, I managed to reduce the p7 supports for the p49 traffic light hassler:

Sokwe, that is amazing. I always find asymmetric oscillator searches to be the most fearsome, yet here you are, with these P7 asymmetric banana sparkers. Nice work.

Nice! Here is a slight reduction:

I like how you completed this directly at P4, instead of tapering to P2, like I did. Nice work!

I don't know of any way to get any sort of fizzle from that type of eater reaction, unless you count eater 2. The reactions in the p47 pre-pulsar shuttle don't seem very fizzle-friendly to me (I could always be wrong, of course).

I wouldn't say it's impossible yet, because there exists a signal-injecting eater in Symbiosis. One that works purely in Life might exist as well. This example stems from AbhpzTa's reflector.

Okay, I've got to admit that the idea is old...

The period-47 can be stabilized by four glider streams and a specialized eater:

Edit 3: Oh my god. Compare this new V sparker to the rest of the pile. Not only is it so small, but it somehow manages to beat most of its behemoth-sized relatives in terms of orthogonal clearance. Only one of these can do better in any way, and that's in diagonal clearance. Wow. Just wow.

(Mostly just a "proof-of-concept" stabilization of a partial so as to have something to put into Oscillizer, which is why I didn't bother to reduce it. For reference, here's the oscillizer output)

Oscillizer output for a p4 with a large strictly volatile segment.

This is with a new, unreleased STRICT_VOL option for osrc. Even thought this partial appears longer than Bullet51's longest partial across all symmetries at higher widths than this, I suspect their lifesrc modification measures partial length differently so this doesn't necessarily invalidate their work. As soon as I finish internal-width-9 searches (osrc's max) I may try some more involved partial manipulation to find new corners of the search space accessible this way. (That is, if wwei doesn't find any results before then with their strict-volatility mod to WLS...)

EDIT: As an update, I did the even, gutter, and asymmetric searches and they all returned no comparable results. I also tried extending the partial asymmetrically where it splits, as well as switching between odd and gutter symmetry, and nothing looks promising — so I'm starting to be more convinced of Bullet51's results, even though osrc isn't fully capable of reproducing them because of its width limitation. I'm hoping wwei's WLS modification will be able to get farther, but I don't have a Windows machine so I can't try it — and that same modification doesn't seem like it'll work for JLS due to its internal workings being slightly different. (Unrelatedly, I might have figured out a way to restrict JLS to searching for phoenixes only — but I need to do more investigation and learn a bit of Java before that comes to fruition, I think.)
