5000+ generation Methuselah that makes a Pulsar and a Mango. At 1562 - 1789 a glider "revives" part of the pattern-- if not for the glider, it would've been 1934 generations. Please let me know if you find an optimized version of this with fewer cells or smaller bounding box or something.

You have discovered what is probably the "Ultimate Predecessor" of the 4Bs Reaction

( the Four Bs are a Blinker, Block, Boat and a B-Heptomino which is extant in gen930 ) :

Code: Select all

x = 28, y = 23, rule = B3/S23
6bo$6bo$6bo7$15b2o9b2o$15b2o8bobo$26bo9$bo$3o$ob2o!
At gen668 the reaction has this pattern embedded within it :

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 19, rule = B3/S23
12b3o5$3bo$bo2bo$bo3bo2b2o$o7b2o$obo11bo$b2o3bo6bobo$2bo2bo4b3o3bo$4bo

A 52 cell FireCloud plus a Blinker and a Block

emit an MWSS and a Glider and leave 18 ashes

over the course of the total of 909gens of this

sub-pattern contained within the 4Bs Reaction.

EDIT :

This Two R-pentomino Collision Reaction is a neat 3696gen Methuselah

which also emits 13 Gliders as well as the MWSS

AND

at gen930 the B-Heptomino of the 4Bs Reaction is present

AND

at gen1309 a QueenBee emerges at the very Top of the Pattern

AND

in which at gen2555 this BoatBlonk BeeHive Pulsar Predecessor is Extant :

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 13, rule = B3/S23
2$2b2ob2o$2bob2o$3bo4$4bo$3bobo$3bobo$4bo!
( when formed, the Pulsar immediately begins to react with an adjacent ash ).

One heck of a nice find, BTW - Thank You for Posting !

Cheers !

Yes, it is here: One Bit Difference.
I guess if you encode the x-coordinate of the MWSS as an integer so that the two integers differ only in the last bit, then it actually qualifies as an 1-bit difference.

The eater 3 in the Bronco cannot be replaced with a loaf reset by a glider, since it interacts twice.

However, nothing seems to prohibit replacing the eater 3 with a loaf+block constellation reset by a G+H:

I guess if you encode the x-coordinate of the MWSS as an integer so that the two integers differ only in the last bit, then it actually qualifies as an 1-bit difference.
This should be described as a "one bit difference **in encoding <p>**", where <p> is a particular encoding of your choice. Since there are infinitely many different ways of encoding patterns (even though only a few are in common use), leaving out this caveat is a slippy slope that can allow tremendous abuse. E.g. in APG, a single bit can add lines of length 2^n for any n; in RLE, changing a coordinate an similarly extend any living cell, dead cell, or line multiplier. Even worse, the difference between B2/S23 and B12/S23 is also only one bit. Presumably, the current use of "one bit difference" encompasses "one bit difference in the bit image", and nothing else.
