So just 16.836 to go, is that correct? It can be done by making a 1G optimisation to the existing 16G synthesis. There is a B and a loaf that is made in 5G. Instead it can be made in 4G by colliding a block with a 2G loaf+blinker. Frustratingly my phone line is down so I can't post the exact details or make a push to my github repo...

Bad lack about the phone line. I tried 32 soups, and the best I found is only slightly better.

Now all 16-bit still-lifes can be synthesised in less than 16 gliders!!!

Thanks to chris_c, BlinkerSpawn, AbptzTa, Extrementhusiast, Sokwe, BobShemyakin, yootaa, Jormagant, dvgrn, and Bullet51 for your contributions (sorry if I missed anyone)!

Yes, last one down! I'm back online and pushed what will the last commit for a while. All 16-bit still lifes are synthesisable in at most 15G with an average of at most 10.47G!

Thanks to everyone!

Great work! Thanks to everyone!

Something I thought of recently: sometime prior to tackling the Still Lifes With A Prime Number of Bits That Must Not Be Named, wouldn’t it make sense to put together a helper utility script for finding likely 3G/4G/5G spark-making reactions?

That script of chris_c's for finding sparkish stuff by population has been very handy, but on multiple runs it ends up painfully re-generating the same population sequences. Why not just write out text files recording the population sequences for each pattern in each gencols output file, and then do a simple text search for the particular sequence that’s wanted?

Seems as if that wouldn’t take much more storage space than the original gencols output, and searches would be thousands of times faster. One byte per population value would be good enough -- no need to record population counts for the big messes that end up over 200 cells or so...?

Maybe it’s worth checking in to Github collision files that are as non-redundant as possible, and also as complete as possible, so that nothing else along the lines of the three-glider switch engine gets missed.

I don’t think it will be that hard to avoid redundancy altogether, with some careful work. Ultimately I’d like to combine this idea with the Enumerating Three-Glider Collisions project, so that for 3G collisions there are maybe 72 collision files checked in -- one for each of the 71 glider collisions with a third glider hitting the reaction at T>=1, and one for all the simultaneous 3G collisions.

Where's the 17 in 17 synthesis project?

[BlinkerSpawn]

Where's the 17 in 17 synthesis project?

As was said in another post somewhere, the current focus is getting a more functional, lower-maintenance system in place for depositing, archiving, and locating syntheses.
Once that's done, 17-bit syntheses will be easy to work with.
Using the infrastructure currently in place, though, it's a pretty tall order.

Cross-posting from the construction practice thread, because I'm pretty sure this is an improvement (16.785):

I was trawling through the last pages of this thread, when I found a small reduction to the above synthesis.

16.1391 in 6 gliders:

A preliminary step in this project was creating a translation between Niemiec's still life numbering and apgcodes. The fact that a similar list does not exist for oscillators is the only reason that I didn't reply to Goldtiger's query here.

After seeing Apple Bottom's great work in the wiki, with most small patterns having an auto-generated synthesis, but oscillators showing an invalid pattern message, I was reminded of the above quote. Couldn't a simple numbering system for oscillators be created by using apgcodes and ordering them alphabetically?

I've been filing away glider+object collisions, does anyone want to see?
Also, if a still life is symmetric along the red, then these two collisions are the same:

Code: Select all

x = 35, y = 16, rule = LifeHistory
33.A$13.A18.A$12.A19.3A$12.3A3$9.D19.D$8.D19.D$7.D19.D$6.D19.D$5.D19.
D$4.D19.D$3.D19.D$2.D19.D$.D19.D$D19.D!

Because the second one in two generations looks like this:

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 15, rule = LifeHistory
12.A$12.A.A$12.2A3$9.D$8.D$7.D$6.D$5.D$4.D$3.D$2.D$.D$D!

Which reflected along the red looks like this:

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 15, rule = LifeHistory
13.A$12.A$12.3A3$9.D$8.D$7.D$6.D$5.D$4.D$3.D$2.D$.D$D!

Which is the same as the first collision.

But it turned out to be incomplete. List of 108 still lifes, what I not found from the list Chris

I ask to help me fill my database.

I think that recipes for these are all available on chris_c's GitHub repository. Here's a package that should display a synthesis for any still life up to 16 bits (where chris_c's online version only goes up to 12 bits):

chris_c_display_synth_to_16_bits.zip

HTML to display glider syntheses up to 16 bits in LifeViewer

The included file bobshemyakinmissinglist.html should have working links to display your 108 missing syntheses. To use it for some other apgcode, open the glidersynth.html page and then append a "?" followed by the apgcode you want.

I checked the first dozen still lifes in your list, and they were all there, and it looked like the glider counts were right. It looks like most of them are conversions from other objects, sometimes in several stages.

... Is this what you're looking for, or no?

Of course, thank you

EDIT:
I checked the list. Found a bug only 16,825, however it is easily corrected. step 2 takes too much space and conflicts with 3-step. I reduced the size 2-th step:

It's been a while since the original 16-in-16 project. In the roughly two and a half years since it completed, our tools for glider synthesis have improved a lot, from the widely accessible tracking system in Shinjuku-Catagolue to the library of soups gathered by Apgsearch to the automated component-basher of transfer.py to the various find-the-reaction-you-want scripts (synthesize-constellation, spark_search, collisrc, popseq...)

As of less than an hour ago, Goldtiger found two 14-glider syntheses of the only two 16-bit still lifes that still cost 15G. All 16-bit still lifes can now be synthesized in 14 gliders or less.

[Scorbie]

So here's the place for a big congrats, eh?
Congrats to everyone involved, seeing the process on discord I can tell it's a lot of hard work.
