Faster 2c/3 Wires

[C_R_116]

This definitely edge-shoots chaos, I think it’s worth searching

Code: Select all

x = 27, y = 27, rule = B3/S23

Thdre's also this new injector. Unfortunately, there's this stubborn object which, if left untouched, destroys the whole thing:

Code: Select all

Including the eater to delete the first natural block gives this a repeat time of 130, which isn't at all terrible considering the fact that the record for the other side is 742. In any case, your solution wins by bounding box by a clear margin, and even though it doesn't directly connect to the syringe it can be connected to a speed tunnel instead:

Can you give some details on how you found it?

I'm trying to improve Tinkerbell's ability to search for wire solutions.
I'm also hoping to release a preview version of it soon, but Barrister is clearly faster right now, so it will be mostly as a reference.

I found the emitter in this form:

Then I make a new search with a mode I added, to find results where the pattern is evolving but the set of active cells has frozen and consists of only missing catalyst cells. I run that search with a low limit on the number of allowed cells in catalysts.

Here's a search pattern from a similar search I just did, using a sparker from signal-turns-and-fizzles (lower left corner):

That corridor... it looks like a part of the 5c/9 wire.
Might it be connectable? I know we already have a separate 2c/3 to 5c/9 converter, but could the 5c/9 wire be converted into this mechanism also?
Wait, wait, now I am examining the 5c/9 wire and thinking that it doesn’t look like it as much as I had thought. The reset state is different, but some other things are the same. Could it work?

This search found another interesting result with two objects that are rebuildable from two two-glider collisions...

It's better than that. Two two-glider collisions means precisely synchronizing four "rebuild" signals, or at least synchronizing two pairs of signals precisely with each other, plus the minor constraint that the gliders building the block have to wait until the eater is built.

There's an ancient block factory that can supply the block without getting in the way of the 2G eater synthesis --

-- so only two precisely synchronized rebuild signals are needed, plus one coming along later but with precise timing not needed.

That's the same "synchronization complexity" as the current record-breaking pond plus bi-block solution, which also involves three rebuild signals.
First a signal gets fed into a pond factory, with timing that doesn't matter as long as happens before the other two precisely-synchronized signals cause the pre-TL plus glider collision that re-creates the bi-block part of the bait.

Gliders are much easier to create than ponds or traffic lights, and they can be created anywhere along a line instead of being nailed down to one location -- so it seems vaguely within the realm of possibility that this might eventually set a new recovery-time record somehow.

The difficulty is that these bait objects produce a glider that goes off to one side, to the northeast in the above example pattern. So it will be necessary to get an output signal back across the center of the receiver mechanism as quickly as possible, to supply the rebuild glider that has to come from the southwest. Recovery time will likely be limited by how fast that can be done.

For the middle emitter you have the option to use one factory for the beehive or one factory for the boat. I have not found a solution that has two factories but it might be possible.
