Huh... Didn't expect anything based on that one! You might want to see Mike's other optimizations.

I just found a Spartan catalyst that may or may not be considered transparent, depending on one's definition of "transparent":

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 13, rule = B3/S23
b2o$b2o3$2o4bo$2o3bobo$6bo$bo$obo2$3o2$2bo!
It is, in some ways, a counterpart to Bellman One, in that it attacks the pre-TL from the opposite side. Unfortunately, it cannot catalyze a straight-up pre-TL, instead requiring another pattern to perturb the pre-TL as well. It may or may not be useful.
Edit: A variant:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 13, rule = B3/S23
b2o$b2o$7b2o$6bobo$2o4bo$2o3b2o2$bo$obo2$3o2$o!

Fairly robust 3c/14 movement:

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 7, rule = LifeHistory

It reappears exactly as it starts, but it gets destroyed by some extra blinkers it makes. It doesnt need a blinker to push it, but the blinker has the nice advantage that it reappears exactly where it needs to be. The form I discovered it in leads to the above state by pushing the pre-pulsar with some other reaction that didn't involve a blinker.

I don't imagine that this speed will be made into a spaceship any time soon, but this engine seems like it would be a good start for such a search.

A transparent loaf catalyst that I found looking through old catalyst test results:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 16, rule = B3/S23

It has a multitude of variations. May or may not be useful.

Unfortunately, the corresponding wick is in jslife's "w00010.lif":

Code: Select all

x = 389, y = 182, rule = LifeHistory

Pretty sure that one's new. Some of Guam's mechanisms look kind of like it, but those are pi inputs feeding into a modified R64 turn.

I suppose in the 1990's someone might have quietly discarded it because they didn't know about our new reliable salvage-a-B-output BBx187H yet. Or there's a B-to-G that can connect to it, too -- BNW39T172.

Are there other B-input circuits that fit? I wish there were more -- it's such a nice Spartan conduit. BRx46B can technically be attached, but then I don't know what to do with that output B.

This is the exact opposite displacement as the P30BR I found a few days ago. Those two conduits don't fit with each other, unfortunately:

However, there may be a way to tame this potential p87 into working if the leftwards plume from the R can create a block so as to replace the lower left eater required by the Pi on each cycle.

Which phenomenon do you want a name for? Looks like the rightmost parasite gets killed off around T=1000000, I'm not sure why -- something gets in the way of either the glider heading NE or the glider bouncing back SW. Must be a pretty rare event, whatever it is.

"Parasite" is from Mitchell Riley, who saw these things growing on a p8 backrake in August 2009, I think. It might have been Bill Gosper who called them "parasites". See this old blog post, or the following sample pattern (from the blog post) with a couple of parasites breeding, or something:
