With all the advancements in LLSSS features I thought another attempt was worth it. I had a few hits for possible reductions to c/3 but couldn't solve any. In fact, most of the c/3 b2f slices I produced were strictly unsolvable even with unlimited width. It might still be possible to swing something by changing something in or "before" the slice but no luck yet...

c/3 was unusually unkind to me, but I was able to get it done:

Keith Amling posted a small collection here. The center of your tagalong above is labeled as G -> H -> H' -> G', but it connects to a component not seen in Amling's collection (although it can be seen in a few other ships in jslife-moving). This is a new connection between known components.

Each pair is in opposite phases so if you advance it 4 generations top and bottom partials will have swapped places. They all use the same essential p8 rotor part in the center, but are reduced to solving the outer [admittedly rather hairy] strict period 4 c/4d problem.

If we could complete one of these, that would clos a major gap! Alas, the partial look beyond what’s feasible for me! Maybe ipx2 gives a continuation?

I made a brief effort to produce an extremely high clearance version of the c/4d p28 puffer, but no luck:

I'm not even sure what we'd do with it if solved...

Here is a version with some better clearance on its top side although not maybe as good as what I had in that earlier partial:

Probably not good enough to rub two copies of it together (which seems like it's going to be quite hard, the line part of the line puffer extends about as far out as any of the smoke in the p28 orbit), but maybe good enough to reach a spark in in a new way?

EDIT: Maybe not. Looking at the higher clearance version in jslife-moving the diagonal bound is one step better globally, but is strictly worse right near the top where a spark would likely go. New and old for comparison:

It could be paired one closer although (a) its sparks touch (but still die immediately) and (b) the p28 orbit conflicts with itself so if paired with no seed smoke it dies. This is probably what we want for "rub together", but I don't have any new orbits yet...
