Just to mention a near-miss stabilization of a P41 wick:

If you place an object like a tub slightly behind and directly inbetween the two blocks in Kashua's design, it becomes possible to turn the blocks into more permanent eater 1's or eater 2's, like so:

Code: Select all

x = 123, y = 27, rule = B3/S23

It seems that stabilizing the wick with still lifes is hard. I wonder, whether the following blinker-rephasing catalyst may be useful:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 7, rule = B3/S23
11b3o3b2o$5b3o3bobo2b2o$11b3o2b3o$2b2o$bobo$bo$2o!
(the catalyst is featured in 50P35 and Pre-pulsar shuttle 47)

Seeking for more possibilities, what about trying blinker placements and add still life catalysts, hoping that the blinkers can restore in the correct phase?

The Pre-pulsar shuttle 28 is such an example, but there's no blinker rephase.

Has anyone given thought to synthesizing Bullet's p10? A final step would be pretty simple; the hard part is making the 64-cell still life:

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 45, rule = B3/S23

Can this hive predeccesor be hassled to make the hiev one step further right?

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 8, rule = B3/S23

EDIT: Can we generate a catalyst which regenerates the yellow cell if it dies? (tub shown, back please add)

Code: Select all

EDIT: Can a real catalyst replace the fake one in the lower tub-with-two-tails example:

Would xs30_0gjlkkmz12iaaaq1zw11 be a useful starting point? There are plenty of symmetric soups on Catagolue, most of which make the still life immediately -- but a few of them definitely imply a synthesis:

which could be untangled with a little effort, but no doubt there's something better out there. I only checked the eighteen D2_+1 soups, so there are a lot more possibilities to check.

There could easily be a better starting point, too. I don't really have any idea if that 30-bit still life can reasonably be turned into the 64-bit still life... There's only one soup for xs42_wrb88gz8kkllll8zwcaaa6zw33 and none for xs42_0gbb8oz8llllkk8z06aaaczw33, xs46_02lligzgbaaa98gz0dlllp1z04aa4, or xs46_02lligzg89aaabgz01pllldz04aa4, but I didn't check anything else.

Did you try sldiff? That would give you the closest naturally-occurring still-lifes if you feed it with the D2_+1 textcensus.
What do you do with ill crystallographers? Take them to the mono-clinic!

Well, yes, but that'll come in handy when reducing the cost of the final synthesis, rather than completing the blueprint. I do not anticipate any difficulties in making layered stripy structures. The hard part is a particular bushing configuration for the oscillator, which is difficult to take apart:

x = 11, y = 21, rule = LifeHistory

A much less junky starting point is a bit later, when each side turns into a V-spark hitting an asymmetric LOM predecessor (takes 6 gliders), or a couple of generations earlier, with a block inducting the LOM predecessor (5 gliders), all of which can be done in several ways.

Here is one 15-glider synthesis:

Notice that there is an output Herschel that needs to be deleted before it releases its first natural glider. Is it possible to use p4 sparkers to convert this Herschel into a glider (or, ideally, 2 gliders)? Can the other end of the track be supported by only 2 glider streams and some p4 sparkers?

Edit: It's possible to get 3 gliders out of the end of the track using the fast H-to-2G, but the streams seem to be too close together to separate:

EDIT: Blinkerspawn and I have been working on some results derived from the above in the discord, and have determined that the p6 and 8 agars are both embeddings of stripe oscillators into the form of phoenix agars. (specifically, they're a simple background pattern XORed with the specified stripe patten). So any wolfram rule 18 (which describes the behavior of those stripes) spatially periodic even-length oscillator in which all on cells have equal spatial parity (that is, the distance between any pair of on cells is even) can be converted into a cgol phoenix agar of the same period. Oscillators of this form for periods 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 24, 28, 30, 62, 124, 126, 1022 have been found via brute force search.

The question now is if there exist such r18 oscillators of all even periods, and if so how to construct them.

The question now is if there exist such r18 oscillators of all even periods, and if so how to construct them.
From the terms up to N=60 in OIES sequence A085587, there also exist phoenix agars with the following periods: 16, 56, 60, 252, 2046, 4094, 32766. Additionally from a result in the paper by Martin et al. referenced by that OEIS entry, for every oscillator of this form with period P, there exists an oscillator of this form with period 2*P. It's not clear to me from the results in the paper if it is possible to show that all even periods are possible, but it seems likely.
The 5S project (Smallest Spaceships Supporting Specific Speeds) is now maintained by AforAmpere. The latest collection is hosted on GitHub and contains well over 1,000,000 spaceships.

A gun shoots gliders at a 57 quadris and a semi every 4096 ticks . When a glider finally passes through all of the quadris (and the semi), the gun is cut down by one tick (4096 --> 4095) and the period gets cut down by one tick as well (170141183460469231731687303715884105728 --> 170141183460469231731687303715884105727).

EDIT: Blinkerspawn and I have been working on some results derived from the above in the discord, and have determined that the p6 and 8 agars are both embeddings of stripe oscillators into the form of phoenix agars. (specifically, they're a simple background pattern XORed with the specified stripe patten). So any wolfram rule 18 (which describes the behavior of those stripes) spatially periodic even-length oscillator in which all on cells have equal spatial parity (that is, the distance between any pair of on cells is even) can be converted into a cgol phoenix agar of the same period.
(Underline mine) The background pattern, by the way, is the barberpole oscillator.
Been in the discord, was interested in the topic.

Behaves like this W18 pattern, right? [code deleted, cause read below]
Edit: Technically yes, but just thinking it as

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 17, rule = B3/S:T8,24
8o16$8o!
is far easier to reason about. (P8).

The torus rules of these agars are very annoying to parse properly...
Edit: Since the background pattern is the barberpole agar, one could use B3/S23:Tx:y±x Depending on the pattern's orientation.
Oscillators of this form for periods 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 24, 28, 30, 62, 124, 126, 1022 have been found via brute force search.
The question now is if there exist such r18 oscillators of all even periods, and if so how to construct them.
I'm in for the search. Will report new periods when I find one.
(Edit: Running a single dot in a torus of length 2^n+2^k stabilizes into a period 2^n-2^k oscillator, if my calculations are right.
So a p16, p32, p48, p56, p60, etc... would all be possible.)
Here's an example of a p120 oscillator precursor that looks pretty beautiful.

x = 136, y = 45, rule = B3/S23:T136,45-1

Wow -- I didn't expect there to be such a nice way way to import this kind of XOR oscillation into Life. Is the following the minimum torus size for that p120?

Those oscillator periods look like the same as the numbers that show up early in the various diagonal-line and horizontal-line OCA oscillators. Is there a direct connection? In particular, if you figure out how to build a p524286 oscillator, will it turn out to be p174762?

Those oscillator periods look like the same as the numbers that show up early in the various diagonal-line and horizontal-line OCA oscillators. Is there a direct connection?
I see a "Single ON cell in B1/S on a bounded grid" which exactly matches the behavior of the agar, so yes.

In particular, if you figure out how to build a p524286 oscillator, will it turn out to be p174762?
I would have to need more time through that material.
Meanwhile Wildmyron (I think) cited a paper that seems to deal with some of that on the discord. I'll repost it here when I have more time.

Come to think of it, there must be a strict equivalence -- just because the behavior of these barberpole-agar oscillators is clearly the same as the behavior of plain old infinitely-long stripes on a torus. (EDIT: Except that seems to be Not True for some reason -- see below. I'm getting different oscillator periods for "equivalent" structures, so the equivalence must break down somehow.)

For example, this

Code: Select all

x = 115, y = 30, rule = B3/S23:T116,30-1

is equivalent to this

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 30, rule = B3/S23:T116,30-1
o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o!
which evolves into this oscillator (the original single line never reappears):

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 30, rule = B3/S23:T116,30-1
o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$
o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$
o3bo$o3bo!
... and the periods of all these agars is in fact 65532, just as the WolframIndex table predicts.

That width-136 p120 agar was a lucky low-period oscillator. If you bump the width up to 138, you get a p8388606 oscillator instead, again as the WolframIndex table expects.

Here's the OEIS sequence, A160657, which was corrected in the past year and now has the correct values for different widths of these oscillators, including the p174762 width 74.

Discussion of the correction can be found in the comments in this blog post.

But it seems like there's something going on with period values for WolframIndex numbers of the form 4N+2. For some reason oscar.lua is reporting the period for the next higher 4N+0 value in those cases. So I get p2044 instead of p174762 for width 74.

EDIT: Okay, here's something I definitely don't understand yet: oscar.lua is reporting period 2044 starting with this two-step predecessor of an oscillator (infinite stripes only):

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 30, rule = B3/S23:T74,30+1
o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o!
But for some reason, converting this into a barberpole XOR stripes agar in the same universe makes the period jump up to 174762, which isn't even a multiple of 2044. This time the single stripe is a one-step predecessor of the oscillator.

Code: Select all

x = 73, y = 30, rule = B3/S23:T74,30+1

You should set the torus line rule to B3/S rather than B3/S23.
Sorry for the new post, but making a new one seemed necessary.

Ah, of course -- thanks! But that means that this barber-poles-XOR-stripes agar is the first Conway's Life pattern capable of producing those high-period XOR oscillators, right?

A regular stripe-on-a-torus in B3/S23 can't reproduce the weird periods like 174762, as far as I can tell.
