I have proven that the family of coiled snakes and the block are the only width-2 strict SLs in Life.

PROOF

Let us denote the following columns of cells as so:

Code: Select all

. * . *
. . * *
0 1 2 3

These are the columns of a width-2 SL.

By convention, I do not allow 0 at the beginning. Hence the beginning is either 1, 2, or 3.

However, 1 or 2 cannot be the left terminus of a width-2 SL. Proof without words:

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 8, rule = LifeHistory
AB4.2A4.AB4.2A$2B4.2B4.BA4.BA5$DB4.DA4.DB4.2A$2B4.2B4.BA4.CA!

Reflect this diagram to give the corresponding for nonexistence of left terminus 2.

Hence column 3 must be the beginning of a width-2 SL.

The column sequence 30 is not allowed as it gives a domino, which dies.

Sequence 33 gives the block, and since the rightmost cells have S3, the only allowed next column is 0.

Sequences 31 and 32 are the same up to reflection, so I will only consider 31.

31 produces a B3a, but this can be fixed by making the next column a 2. Making it a 0 will not work because of B3a, 1 because of B3i, and 3 because of no S4i. Hence 2 is the only option that would give a SL.

0 is not allowed as the next column because of no S1c, 1 because of B3e, 2 because of B3j. Hence 3 is the only viable option. Of course, one can terminate it here, giving the snake.

Can we continue this? Of course. Based on the reasoning above, the next viable columns are 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3... and so on ad infinitum. One can terminate the infinite SL at the columns '3' to give the coiled snakes.

Hence block and the coiled snakes are the only width-2 strict SLs. QED.

EDIT: request by confocaloid

[confocaloid]

I think one needs to say "strict still life", since putting a block next to any coiled snake gives an example of a width-2 pseudo still life (and one can put two blocks far from each other to get an infinite family of 8-bit still lifes that are constellations).

Added later: with a higher width (e.g. width 4 example below), there can be cases when the completed still life (a block or a finite coiled snake) can be extended into a larger strict still life, by adding nonempty columns after a single "0" column. That does not happen in the width 2 case, because the only possibilities after "...30" are either appending another "0" column (leading to at least two adjacent empty columns, preventing extension to a bigger strict still life) or appending a "3" column (leading to the two dead cells becoming overpopulated rather than underpopulated, and creating a pseudo still life).

I seriously forgot about the blinker?! Anyway, at least it proves that infinitely many (non-trivial) p2s with 1d stators exist, as well as the fact that the stators can have an arbitrarily large population. For example, here is an extension of the p2 (extended phoenix parts highlighted):

Non-trivial means that the pattern cannot be split up into parts that are p2 oscillators themselves. For example, two blinkers doesn't count as they are both independently p2 oscillators.

If I'm not wrong, it's not a dot spark but a duoplet which acts to release a glider.
