Rules with interesting dynamics

Post by gmc_nxtman » October 8th, 2017, 3:47 pm

This thread is for rules that might not necessarily have engineering potential or other typical desirable aspects of a rule, but have an interesting dynamic or mechanic within them that you find interesting. If possible, describe the dynamic in detail. There's also been some discussion of these over at the #other-ca channel in the unofficial Discord server.

I'd like to begin by reposting a few old rules that I like:

B3aeijn4n/S234iqz, explosive because of the B-heptomino being an oblique quadratic growth pattern:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = B3aeijn4n/S234iqz
bo$3o$ob2o!
B2ce3i/S2-a34-aiq, generates large stable patterns and has a fairly common "checkerboard breeder":

Code: Select all

x = 32, y = 16, rule = B2ce3i/S2-a34-aiq

bo2bo$9o3bob3obob8ob2o$o2b4ob3obob2ob3obobobobob3o!
B3-aq/S234-aeiq, large enough soups in this rule generate diamonds consisting of stable sections with small unstable "signals" that can drift and take a long time to stabilize:

Code: Select all

x = 120, y = 121, rule = B3-aq/S234-aeiq

B2c3aijn4k/S2-k34cnqrt, produces large sections of checkerboard agar with "rivers" in between that expand the agar and change direction randomly; in this example, two rivers are initially produced that form a closed loop and stabilize around 188k gens:

o3bob4obobobob2ob2ob3o$obo3b2o2b2obo2b4o3b4o2bo!
B3-q/S234y, a rule only two transitions from life with a common diagonal pi-based puffer that produces some pretty weird phenomena:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 6, rule = B3-q/S234y
13b3o4$3o$o2bo!

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 6, rule = B3-q/S234y
11bo$11b2o3$3o$o2bo!
That's all for now, I hope to see more rules with interesting dynamics and textures later on.

Can't forget the anti-tub rule (TRYPOPHOBIACS BEWARE):

Cool! This is a Crystallographic defect between the two possible offsets of the checkerboard region.

Can't forget these 2:

I don't see how you could make a spaceship out of a four-way replicator without some really messy junk interaction.
I can't even escort one with the natural c/3s because whenever the tail catches up to the head the timing gets thrown off.
There appears to be a cool family of hasslers, though.

Unusually textured chaos (as well as an optical illusion):

Code: Select all

#C [[ THEME 6 ZOOM 1.0 GPS 60 STEP 1 ]]
x = 16, y = 16, rule = B2678/S34578
o3b5o$o3bo2b2ob2obobo$o5b5obobo$5bo2b2obo$o3bobo3bo4bo$b11ob2o$bo2b4o
3bob3o$o3bob3obo2b3o$2ob2o2b6obo$3b3o3bo4bo$o2b5ob4ob2o$b2ob2o2b2o4b2o
$ob5ob3obo2bo$o2b3o3b3ob2o$2ob2o2b2ob4obo$o4b2o5bob2o!
The chaos has small regions of short-term stability, and the white regions appear light gray while it plays at 60 gps, 1x speed.

The rule is also black/white symmetric and has a bidirectional double c wickstretcher sandwiching a replicator-like system:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 12, rule = B2678/S34578
3bo3bo$bob5obo$4obob4o$11o2$bo7bo$bo7bo2$11o$4obob4o$bob5obo$3bo3bo!
As well as a stable eater:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 16, rule = B2678/S34578
4bo2bo2$5b2o3$4bo$7bo$5b2o3$4bo2bo$5b2o2$bo8bo$12o$bo2bo2bo2bo!
EDIT:
This rule produces an expanding cloud of chaos with escaping puffers.

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B3/S02-i34q
2b2o$2b2o$3o$bo!
The puffer is a c/2 p60 that evolves from the B-heptomino. It leaves a trail that emits gliders, which can interact with other puffers in various ways:

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 33, rule = B3/S02-i34q
26bo$26b2o$27b2o$26b2o12$ob2o$3o$bo12$26b3o$28bo$26bobo$26b2o!
This rule produces regions of horizontal and vertical farmland with filaments of chaos at places where the farmland changes phase (not orientation):

Code: Select all

#C [[ ZOOM 1.0 ]]
x = 5, y = 7, rule = B3/S0123:T512,512
3bo$3bo$3b2o3$2o$bo!
Although there are no spaceships, I'd like to know if there is a pattern that fills the plane with zebra stripes without gaps or defects.

Those rivers, in the absence of crystallographic defects, tend to evolve according to the curve-shortening flow:

B2cek3i/S12-ak

A rule that has quite a bit of engineering potential, but is also fun to watch on a randomly seeded 1500x1500 torus. Also, the replicator, if left alone on an infinite plane, produces the ruler sequence. Check out the thread for it BTW.

Code: Select all

#CXRLE Pos=3,0
x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2cek3i/S12-ak

In B2cik3aciny4c5n/S23-ay4cjn, the bigger, pre-block like replicator-like growths on the crystals need another pre-block to replicate, have we found sexually-reproducing replicators here? :P

This is confusing, it just appears to be another of those snake rules that have popped up at least 3 times. (Yes, the snakes "crystallize, but saka mentioned that too)
Some explosive cousins of B2cek3q4-i/S13ck4k, such as B2cek3q4-i5ajkqr6-i/S13ck4k exhibit strange dynamics because of the "pushy" p33 oscillator:

Code: Select all

x = 37, y = 18, rule = B2cek3q4-i5ajkqr6-i/S13ck4k

There's this thing called Golly...
Searching:
b2-a5k6n7cs12-i3ij4k5j8
b2-a3c7cs12-i

Currently looking for help searching these rules.

For finding rules that the natural unit cells like that one simulate.
