10-13G? (one of my old discoveries)

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 14, rule = B3/S23

This can already be done a different way with 10 gliders:

Interesting four-fold unix (quadrix?):

Interesting. If you change one of the four into a regular Unix you don't have to worry about closing the loop:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 28, rule = B3/S23

Interesting. If you change one of the four into a regular Unix you don't have to worry about closing the loop:

Code: Select all

I created a 12-glider synthesis for the top one two years ago, which I dubbed "sesqui-unix", since it includes one full unix, and one partial one. Karel Suhajda reported it on June 7, 2007.
Since unices can be combined together in many ways, the possibilities are endless.

Simple 15G synthesis: ...

That is Karel Suhajda's P24. It can already be synthesized from 15 gliders (http://codercontest.com/mniemiec/lg/38p24ks.rle), but this synthesis is simpler, although the previous method starts with a pre-existing block, making it possible to synthesize two of these sharing the same block. It's also possible to connect two of these end-to-end, sharing two blocks, with a phase difference of 3-8 generations, but neither of these syntheses can do that. There's also unfortunately no way to share two blocks side-to-side.

I appear to have created a 30-glider synthesis for this http://codercontest.com/mniemiec/lg/26p40-1.rle no later than 5/24/2013. I have known the synthesis has been around in my archives for a while, but I don't actually recall creating it (although the method used to create the rotor looks like something I would have come up with). Hopefully this soup will substantially reduce this.

Here is a way:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 17, rule = B3/S23
12bo$11bo$bo9b3o$2bo$3o10$11bo$10b2o$10bobo!

This is a common constellation, as it forms from 2 beehives. I know of 2 other ways to make it from 3 gliders. The first forms from a glider hitting a pre-traffic light, so it has two 3-glider forms (and many 4-glider ones).

Code: Select all

x = 108, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

Double Gray counter, which forms in pretty much exactly the same way as I synthesized it:

Code: Select all

x = 31, y = 31, rule = B3/S23

Another question of synthesizing two loaves with three gliders:

Code: Select all

x = 21, y = 14, rule = B3/S23
obo15bobo$b2o15b2o$bo5bo5bo5bo$8bo3bo$6b3o3b3o$3b2o11b2o$2bobo11bobo$
4bo11bo3$7b2o3b2o$6bo2bobo2bo$6bobo3bobo$7bo5bo!

By the way, that 10-glider pond on hook synth seems to be an improvement by 12 gliders.

Code: Select all

x = 43, y = 51, rule = B3/S23
13bo$12bo$12b3o$4bo4bo$5bo4b2o$3b3o3b2o10$12bo$12bobo$12b2o$10bo$8bobo

EDIT: And a recent griddle-based p2 seemingly in 13 gliders:

Code: Select all

x = 40, y = 21, rule = B3/S23
2bo$2bobo$2b2o2$4bo$3bobo$4b2o4$39bo$39bo$2o37bo$2o$35b3o4$12bo$12bo$

Another question of synthesizing two loaves with three gliders: ...

I can do it with four. Since it is from one glider interrupting a forming house, there are likely many similar arrangements:

Code: Select all

x = 69, y = 17

I think it's probably 12G plus cleanup, at most.

this is definitely not natural
