Have you seen this seemingly new p6 oscillator from Catagolue?
A cursory search through jslife didn't find anything similar.
I've never seen such an interaction of a unix.

As I said in twitter, why don't we call it Catagolue's p6 if it's new?

[Sokwe]

Have you seen this seemingly new p6 oscillator from Catagolue?

This is essentially two unices hassling a beacon. There is a similar oscillator in jslife, but I think this particular unix orientation was not previously recognized.

Yeah... I didn't search too thorough, I guess.
It's really astonishing that the unix is adjacent to the beacon almost every step, but is so intricately balanced that it avoids from being wrecked.

I suppose this one's not 'new' enough for a name. But what do you think of naming patterns as Catagolue's pxxx if any notable pattern comes out from Catagolue?

[biggiemac]

I like the idea of giving catagolue credit.

Do other people also have the issue of the pie chart not loading in C1? Other symmetries loaded the pie chart but both on mobile and my laptop the C1 pie chart is missing.

Also, an asymmetric Great On-Off variant has a slow salvo synth from 5 SL.

You mean like this one (which I tacitly named 'buddleia' because it supports a butterfly)?

Oh, the HTML source contains this line:

['Nigin's Public Account', 109333476]

which you may notice contains an apostrophe. Since the string is demarcated by single quotes, this is invalid syntax.

Fortunately I don't use SQL, lest this may happen: https://xkcd.com/327/

[biggiemac]

Knew what the relevant XKCD was before clicking. Always a good feeling.

Yeah, something like that and the p4 linux, if they were new. (The 'buddleia' and the linux quadrant are in jslife, sadly.)

And now we have an 80-score soup. Like the 72-score soup, the score appears to be twice what it should be.

We have a new period-4 oscillator! ...

Not terribly new, though. The rotor (mold) has been known since 1988, and the stator isn't particularly unusual. Not sure why the Twitterbot would have called it "a new natural p4 oscillator" instead of "a new mold variant".

[codeholic]

Because it cannot identify mold variants yet. Here are all rotors it currently knows about https://github.com/conwaylife/conwaylif ... #L315-L349

[dvgrn]

Ah, thanks for the link. I hadn't gone and hunted down Twitterbot code yet. Was guessing that you were somehow recognizing rotors from knownrotors (or maybe I should link to Bob Shemyakin's knownrotors posting, also from last October? Maybe it's the same file, I haven't checked.) But of course the eater2 recognition couldn't have been done that way.

Hmm, there are some rather ambitious template patterns in there... I wonder how long it will be before a pi_splitting_catalyst shows up!

Shaggy Octagon 4 showed up in a symmetric soup:

Code: Select all

x = 18, y = 18, rule = B3/S23
8bo$7bo3bo$7bo2b2o$9bo$7b4o$6bo4bo$5bo6bo2b2o$b2obo8bobo$o3bo8b2o$3b2o
8bo3bo$2bobo8bob2o$b2o2bo6bo$6bo4bo$7b4o$8bo$6b2o2bo$6bo3bo$9bo!

It can be interbred with the classic stabilization:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 17, rule = B3/S23
7bo$6bo3bo$6bo2b2o$8bo$6b4o$5bo4bo$4bo6bo$3bo8bo$2obo8bob2o$2obo8bob2o
$3bo8bo$4bo6bo$5bo4bo$6b4o2$7b2o$7b2o!

Oscillators/DRH-oscillators.rle has several stabilizations but not this one:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 20, rule = B3/S23
8b3o$9bo$2o$bo6b3o$bobo3bo3bo4b3o$2b2o2bo5bo2b3o$5bo7bo$5bo7bo$5bo7bo$

o$10b2o!

EDIT: Pardon, the last pattern is based on a different octagon. But you can still interbreed:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 18, rule = B3/S23
6b3o$7bo2$6b3o$5bo3bo$4bo5bo$3bo7bob2o$2obo7bo3bo$2obo7b2o$3bo7bobo$4b
