It's been a month now, so here's the next iteration of the replicator collection. The scope has been expanded to replicators with more than two copies, including 4-copy (quadratic) replicators, provided that they replicate strongly. So far, replicators with four copies are classified into one of fiv...

Six numbers in the form of two displacements seem to be sufficient for describing 1D replicators. Would it be fair to say that twelve numbers in the form of four displacements would make sense for 2D replicators? For trivial cases like the diagonally-moving "square" replicators and orthogonally-movi...

Just to verify once more, the changes from this post will finally make it into the 4.3 release, right? They don't appear to have been checked in yet.

EDIT by dvgrn: Yup -- hoping to find enough time to focus on working through that, sometime this weekend.

Some potential fixes: - Non-Totalistic/Oscillators/rro-p420.rle: "aloop" -> "a loop" - Non-Totalistic/Spaceships/thighlife-replicator-based-spaceships.rle: "c/4 orthogonal" -> "4c/11 orthogonal" (no idea how I messed that one up. Freudian slip?) - Super/art-on-a-torus-LifeSuper.rle: date appears to ...

Are there more people that dislike the hanging-indent standard, enough to say so here? Or, even better, is there anyone who dislikes the hanging-indent so much that they're willing to go through the whole pattern collection and change the comments so they're in some other consistent format? I could...

On Catagolue synthesis pages, using Save Pattern puts a bunch of stuff near the top on the same line, where it previously was on different lines.

A strong pascal mod 3 replicator should be possible with an asymmetric unit that flips when two of them collide. If we label a flipped unit as A' and use 0+0=0; 0+A=A; A+A=A'; A+A'=0, then the flipped unit really does act like a state 2, since collisions between flipped units simply flip them back ...

Now that I've established a healthy collection of pretty much every known 1D replicator in the 5s-permitted rulespace, it's probably due time to be pooling together all of the known quadratic replicators into a convenient place as well such that a classification system can be developed. As is usual,...
