The following three still lives are (from top to bottom) order-1 coiled snake, order-2 coiled snake, and order-3 coiled snake:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 10, rule = B3/S23
2ob2obo$ob2ob2o3$2ob2ob2obo$ob2ob2ob2o3$2ob2ob2ob2obo$ob2ob2ob2ob2o!
The coiled snake is an infinite wick, while these still lives are finite parts of the wick.
I feel like the numbering should start with 1, and anything shorter than order-1 coiled snake is not coiled.
So would this be a long^3 order-2 coiled snake?

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 8, rule = B3/S23
2$b2o$bobo$4bo$5bob2ob2obo$6b2ob2ob2o!

Code: Select all

No, it would have to be called something like a [long^3, normal, normal] order-2 coiled snake. Here's a [long^3, long, long^4] order-2 coiled snake:

Does anyone have any name ideas for the sequence with these (and possibly other) seven-cell predecessors?

Code: Select all

o2$2o2$b3o$2bo11$bo2$2o2$b3o$2bo11$2o2$o$bo$2bo$2bo$2bo11$2o2$o2$b2o$2bo$3bo11$o$bo$o2$b2o$2bo$3bo11$bo$bo$o2$b2o$2bo$3bo11$bo$o$o2$b2o$2bo$3bo11$2o2$o2$b2o$2bo$4bo11$o$bo$o2$b2o$2bo$4bo11$bo$bo$o2$b2o$2bo$4bo11$bo$o$o2$b2o$2bo$4bo11$o$2b3obo$2bo3bo11$3bo2$ob2o$2o$4bo
I don't want to just call it pi and loaf or something because of b3o$2bo$bo$o$o, so perhaps the name should call attention to the fact that the loaf is more behind than to the side of the pi, like leftover crust except not feeling diminutive of the pattern.
I am tentatively considering myself back.

This p62 has existed since April 2023. I've always thought of it as "chameleon" because the active region goes through several forms (teardrop, I-heptomino, century, and a common unnamed pi+loaf*) throughout its sequence. Mitchell Riley is the discoverer.

*There are two common pi+loaf sequences. This is the one found in the lumps of muck sequence, not the Jason's p22 one.

Three beacons is a thing and even has a 4G synthesis. It's about six times as rare as the clock. Four beacons is not.

I think the recent addition of https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?titl ... edirect=no is problematic for several reasons.
  1. As far as I can tell, it fails to be a name already in common use. (LW:NB anyone?) The only occurrence on the forums I found is in the Sandbox (quoted below), and doesn't really have anything to do with that particular reaction or with Conway's Life.
  2. I remember objections to names that fail to be internationally meaningful. (For my part, I also object to name suggestions failing the internationalisation test.)
  3. It comes across as a step towards more unwanted advertising noise. What the store has to do with cellular automata?

I was solely going by this. If you think it shouldn't have that name, let me know, although I think doing so should only result in a rename and not a deletion. The next line, cut off due to screen height, is Galoomba saying "why is seven-eleven not on the wiki". The message immediately above what you can see is a Caterer !sim of 76P86 plus the reaction (so it's clear that it's referring to the correct thing).

I think the name is problematic, and especially linking it to a branding of some store is problematic. This feels more like advertising noise rather than a good uncontroversial name for a Life reaction.

Searching on the forums and in an outdated archive ("out.txt", until mid January 2024), it looks like the word 'gullible' was used a few times either to refer to 35P12.1, or to refer to the flipping reaction itself. While (AFAICT) this name is not in common use either, at least it avoids two out of three issues I mentioned in the previous post.

Notability of an (object/reaction/pattern) doesn't imply existence of a widely agreed uncontroversial name.

As far as I can tell, currently, neither of names is notable enough for a mention on the wiki.

Some possibilities:

(1) Merge the content into 35P12.1, and avoid even mentioning any of proposed names.
(2) Move the page to a descriptive pagename, for example Unnamed fishhook-elevener hassling reaction, and avoid even mentioning any of proposed names.

The redirects from non-notable names should also be deleted.

So 204P41 doesn't have a non-placeholder name despite being the oscillator that proved omniperiodicity. How about naming it "interesting loop", which is what it was described as in the post where it was found?

Because it can support a vex, what about calling it an "evoker"? Or else, an "evoker half" or "half evoker" because it needs two to support a vex?

Helloshe, I like pentadecathlons and small-period motifs.

Earlier discussion:
viewtopic.php?p=175265#p175265

Note that the post you mentioned actually contained the 208P41, and not 204P41. So, if anything, it would be correct to apply the name 'interesting loop' to that oscillator with minimum population 208 (while also leaving open the question of how to refer to 204P41, if not by its Pentadecathlon ID descriptor):

Re: Thread For Your Naming Proposals of Unnamed Patterns

When someone who I believe is Discord-only asked if this somewhat common dying spark had a name, jintsi suggested "drone", with the rationale that it looks like a queen bee but dies. That said, "Drone" in this community usually refers to the user DroneBetter rather than any object, so it might cause confusion. I am personally (weakly) leaning against, but I feel like proposals need to be made public to the entire community.

Who else calls this the “pi octomino”? I’ve always called it that in my head since it’s the regular pi plus an extra cell in the middle and also evolves the same way after generation 2.

Code: Select all

I usually call this B-turner (or B-turner sequence). See User:0-engine_Cordership/B-turner.

I didn't really called it pi octomino in any post (even I mentioned it as spaceships in OCA), but I do, in my head.
