### Re: Soup search results in rules other than Conway's Life

As I mentioned in the Unrecognized CA thread, here's the soup that makes a p3 c/3 ship in B34/S26.

Longer versions of this wick: Code: Select all #C [[ VIEWONLY ZOOM 16 ]]x = 16, y = 7, rule = B36/S125o3bo4bo$bo3bo4bo$6bo4bo$7bo4bo$13bo$14bo$15bo! appear significantly less often than shorter versions, and are in fact the rarest still life WITH their number of cells -- at least until you reach about length 9 when the probability of the wick being created by a wickstretcher starts exceeding the probability of it occurring spontaniously. Then the probability of an n-length wick only slightly exceeds the probability of an n-1 length wick; in fact, the maximum length occurring in the Catagolue is 23 (!) and is probably the most common 2x2 still life that has 23 cells. I hypothesized this effect would eventually happen in Life -- after natural boat/tubstretchers started occurring -- but it's happening in 2x2 now because that rule has a relatively common natural wickstretcher. gameoflifeboy Posts: 471 Joined: January 15th, 2015, 2:08 am ### Re: Soup search results in rules other than Conway's Life After some concerted CPU effort, a puffer has emerged from a soup in B36/S245. It moves at 28c/1200 and is very similar to the replicator - it comprises two interacting shuttles but they are offset in space and time. It is detected as yl1200_1_16_e49e8812cafb8e3c299f15f4178845dc by apgsearch. Code: Select all x = 16, y = 16, rule = B36/S245bo3b3o3b5o$3bobo2b2o4bo$b3ob2o2bo5bo$obobob5o4bo$2o2bo2b4o3b2o$3bob2ob2ob3o$b2o4b3obobobo$bob2o2bo2b3o2bo$3b3ob2o6bo$bo4b2o3bob3o$4bo3b3obob2o$2o2bo5b5o$o3b3ob3o3b2o$5bob3obo$ob2obo2b2o3bobo$b2ob5o2bo!#C [[ THUMBNAIL ZOOM 4 ]]

Alas, no replicator yet, though one advantage of searching this rule is that the search runs considerably faster because it dies out often and stabilises very quickly.

I was looking through B38S23/d8_4 soups and found this infinite growth:

I guess I wouldn't be the "discoverer" because the hauls weren't uploaded by me, but is this the first infinite growth in B38S23 that doesn't work in Life? gameoflifeboy Posts: 471 Joined: January 15th, 2015, 2:08 am ### Re: Soup search results in rules other than Conway's Life I guess I wouldn't be the "discoverer" because the hauls weren't uploaded by me, It's not clear who should get the credit for these discoveries. It's either Josh Ball (who initiated the search), apgsearch (which identified it as zz_LINEAR), or you (the first human to actually notice what had happened). This is not unlike the discovery that 2^42643801 - 1 is prime, which was performed by a machine on 2009-04-12 but only noticed by a human a couple of months later (2009-06-04). This invokes the question as to whether there are more unusual occurrences noticed by apgsearch and lying in the uncharted depths of Catagolue? but is this the first infinite growth in B38S23 that doesn't work in Life? Maybe. Can one engineer a 31c/589 spaceship from this puffer? What do you do with ill crystallographers? Take them to the mono-clinic! calcyman Posts: 1661 Joined: June 1st, 2009, 4:32 pm ### Re: Soup search results in rules other than Conway's Life It's hard to say who noticed it first. I saw the zz_LINEAR pattern come up and I ran it, but I wasn't sure if this was a known pattern or not. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of what's known in different rules. -Josh Ball. velcrorex Posts: 339 Joined: November 1st, 2009, 1:33 pm ### Re: Soup search results in rules other than Conway's Life gameoflifeboy wrote:I was looking through B38S23/d8_4 soups and found this infinite growth...

I tried in life. The result was the rule changed inadvertently.

Seeds is an "exploding" rule, which gives messes like that. I think every B2 rule is like that. Generally, the interesting rules have B3 and any combination of B5, B6, B7, and B8. B4 usually explodes or becomes uninteresting; the only interesting rule with B4 I know if is B34/S26 (and its close relatives).

Nonetheless I (almost) knew that, but had every pattern to be really such unstable, other than the photon, moon and photon-siamese-moon?

Thanks!
I just saw the glider gun yesterday, but I didn't know that it was discovered before apgsearch too. In my opinion it is even more interesting than the puffer.

### Re: Soup search results in rules other than Conway's Life

Just like another rule I tried to search once (don't remember the rule number), B3/S02456 has the weird property that while most patterns tend to stabilize, D2_+2 symmetry patterns usually explode in a line, occasionally shooting spaceships out of the ends. However, b3/s02456 also shoots out puffers so that probably isn't the rule I was thinking of.

Example asymmetric soup that becomes symmetrical and explodes (there are two of them in the catagolue):

The soup in Catagolue marked "explosive" actually stabilizes in around 1 million gens. I haven't checked the other one yet. x₁=ηx V ⃰_η=c²√(Λη) K=(Λu²)/2 Pₐ=1−1/(∫^∞_t₀(p(t)ˡ⁽ᵗ⁾)dt) $$x_1=\eta x$$ $$V^*_\eta=c^2\sqrt{\Lambda\eta}$$ $$K=\frac{\Lambda u^2}2$$ $$P_a=1-\frac1{\int^\infty_{t_0}p(t)^{l(t)}dt}$$ http://conwaylife.com/wiki/A_for_all Aidan F.

This is perhaps not that suprising as soups die out relatively quickly in this rule and the side length of 32 gives greater opportunity for side by side shuttles to form. For some reason I haven't determined yet, Catogolue reports 4 instances of the replicator from these two soups. wildmyron Posts: 819 Joined: August 9th, 2013, 12:45 am ### Re: Soup search results in rules other than Conway's Life For some reason I haven't determined yet, Catogolue reports 4 instances of the replicator from these two soups. Because apgsearch gets confused about how many replicators there are in a particular soup (after all, they multiply!). What do you do with ill crystallographers?
