Two small c/2 spaceships in rule B0124/S12346 (I think it is omitted by mistake in D.Eppstein's site.)

x = 6, y = 14, rule = B0124/S12346

A p200, 7c/40 replicator in a band of with 6. It seems like a failed pulsar(if you draw two copies in a band of with 12) at first, but it makes complex behaviors after a few generations, and eventually replicates.
( I didn't know which thread to put this post on, in the case you consider this as CGOL...)

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23:T0,6
3o$obo$3o!
It can be made into agars if you put one or two of the replicators in bounded grids. I've only tried two replicators having the same phase and y-position, and it all works in T(18, 19, 20, 21, 24), 6, with various periods.

A beehive puffer based on the replicator:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 5, rule = B3/S23:T0,6
bobo2bobo$o2bo9b3o$o8bo3bobo$o2bo9b3o$bobo2bobo!
Incidentally, the same pattern is also a replicator in Highlife (of course, in a band of width 6). It's much simpler; speed 3c/11, period 11. Rule B37/S23 makes a mess.

While experimenting with the "Coral" rule (B 3/ S 45678) and the fade rule, it appears that if the fadeout is set below about 43 iterations, that the automaton dies out rather quickly. Above that level it remains active but doesn't settle into a static pattern. With the fade rule off, the same rule tends to evolve into a static pattern with some repeating elements. I am hypothesizing that the fade rule has the ability to change the class of at least some subset of cellular rules . Unmodified Coral seems to fit the definition of a class 2 automaton. Under the fade rule, it seems to take on a behaviour pattern more like a class 3 or possibly 4, and with a small enough fade setting becomes class 1.

The "Fade" rule I am referring to is simply a maximum lifespan imposed on active cells. Similar effects occur in the Maze rule (B3/S12345), and others.

This one involves Game of Life, but also includes another rule. In an automaton full of Game of Life, the simple expedient of adding a single line of cells that simply blink on and off every other generation adds a large amount of activity and complex structure. I call it the "Glider Bomb"

All the rules in this one are Game of Life, technically, but I am doing something unorthodox with it. Cellular Explorer (the free/open source cellular automaton editor I'm working on) includes an option to run cells pseudo-asynchronously. It is called the "Maturity" option and cells with maturity 1 calculate a new state every generation, maturity 2 every other generation, maturity 3 every three generations, and so on. I wanted to see what happens when Game of Life is alternated in a checker-board pattern with Life cells at maturity 2. I call the result "Boom and Bust".

See it in action here: http://lincolncybernetics.com/cellular- ... t-in-color

Basically still lifes and period 2 patterns tend to remain unchanged, but more active regions start to grow like a tumor or an algae bloom.

Here's one more that involves the Game of Life interacting with another rule. In this automaton, the outer border of cells are strobe cells that activate once and then lie dormant for a fixed period of time before activating again.

This post is about a simple rule, I am calling "Conveyor Cell". Basically, each cell takes on the binary state of one of its neighbors. When Conveyor cells are next to each other and pointing in the same direction, states propogate through the automaton as though they were on a conveyor belt. Then I added an automaton-level rule that sends a signal to each cell, randomly telling it to change orientation. The results can be seen at this url:

This is an accidental discovery if there ever was one. I started off by looking for a phoenix of period 2 in the CA B34/S03456, and I came up with the following:

It isn't a phoenix in B34/S03456, though; I put it into Golly and ran it for a few generations, but not enough. (It actually blows up in the middle.)

However, something happened by accident; the rule that was being used was actually B345/S. If this rule is used instead, a couple of fuses show up; one about 3/5 of the way down, and another about halfway down. (They both burn down to phoenixes.) A more "civilized" version of the second one looks like:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 23, rule = B345/S

Here's one of my latest experiments. The cells in this automaton simply add the states of their neighbors (in a range of -1024 to 1024). The cells each look at neighbors at a randomly-determined distance. One cell was placed into state 1(the lowest positive state), and it looks as though the whole thing blew up. :D

In B23/S0, most patterns are either sparse dots (still life) or chaotic explosions. There is at least one pattern which has predictable behaviour - empty diamonds (with rounded corners) of certain size have replicator like behaviour. The smallest such diamond is this one:

Code: Select all

#CXRLE Pos=-2,-2 Gen=4
x = 5, y = 5, rule = B23/S0
b3o$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$b3o!
It has a predecessor - a 3x3 square with centre cell off - but I believe that is a garden of eden in this rule. I've set this iteration's generation to 4 because for generation = 2^n for n>2, the pattern is a similar empty diamond of one cell thickness.

The accidental part of this is then running the resulting diamond in Life. This results in some very interesting patterns of still lifes - reminiscent of some of the more fractal / persian rug growth style rules. I particularly like the result starting from gen = 4096, but 3584 (not a single empty diamond) is also quite pleasing.

It looks as if it's possible to build a predecessor for a 3x3 ring plus as much empty space as you want around it --

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 11, rule = B23/S0

-- but it might be harder to find a predecessor for a 3x3 ring in an empty universe, unless you allow predecessors with infinite size and population.

Natural p4 spaceship in the Asynchronous Replicator Rule (B36/S245):

It's in the database, although this is the first time I've seen it appear naturally (by comparison, 65000 p7 spaceships had occurred by this point):

http://fano.ics.uci.edu/ca/rules/b36s245/

By the way, I'm experimenting with v0.5 of apgsearch, which is able to recognise different types of asymptotic growth rate (so can distinguish between free replicators, growing spaceships, and explosive replicator-infested mess in HighLife). B36/S23 is about 3 times slower than B3/S23 due to this functionality, which is still an improvement over the previous situation.

Unsurprisingly, the same p4 spaceship also occurs naturally in B368/S245 (also known as Morley or Move).

In B36/S245 the shuttle which forms one half of the replicator occurs relatively often, but I didn't see the replicator appear in a 10 million soup run.

In B367/S245 the p4 spaceship hasn't appeared yet, but I only ran that search to 1 million. The shuttle in B36/S245 is a p168 oscillator in this rule which shows up frequently, but it's also made an appearance in a p336 oscillator where the p168 converts a p2 oscillator to a p4, and back again.

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 24, rule = B367/S245

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.

Semi-active here - recovering from a severe case of LWTDS.

A bunch of soups that produce different spaceships/puffers/wickstretchers in Day & Night (B3678/S34678):

Wow! How many soups have you been running?! TOLLCASS only found rockets and snails, apparently, after running 300M soups:

Not that many, really. The script kept crashing occasionally (I think the problem was already brought up by someone else in the apgsearch thread) so I ran it for about an hour or so. Not sure how many soups that is, but it counted 153 occurrences of the p40 rocket in total.

Didn't TOLLCASS only display objects over a certain frequency though? Since the main table for Day&Night for example stops at objects with ~500 occurrences, I always assumed that ships with <500 occurrences would not be shown.

a land of former winter, where no invisible walls stood,
or could stand for more than a few hours at most...
