c/2 grey ship

What if we change the problem to restrict the entire ship to period 2?
What shapes are possible, if any? It turns out that arbitrarily large
ships do exist, but I don't know how to get remotely close to a square.
Here is a way to shift a left or right edge in by one stripe:

By repeating this, we can get a slope as "low" as 79/4. Not very good,
but it's the only such component that I know of.

While testing a skew torus version of wls I finally found something slightly steeper:

I'm still struggling to find a complete p2 ship supporting this part. Maybe you find a completion on the front.

[dvgrn]

against the grain grey ship...

Nice work! Wasn't expecting to see this thread start up again after such a long gap.

Is there any possibility of a line-puffer-type back end for this impressively stripy spaceship?

[HartmutHolzwart]

I stumbled over this component and realized that I never actually used it...

The interesting thing: It seems to be impossible to build a rectangular grey ship either with the grain or against the grain. While I think I could prove that with the grain, I don't have any clue in the other case.

In particular, it seems impossible to create line ships from against the grain grey ships. The lines are extremely fragile and any perturbation expands with speed 2c/3.

A related and still unsolved question is wehether there exist finite c/2 signals moving against the grain. A front end for a grey ship would be a potential back end of such a signal and vice versa.

My feeling is that they don't exist. Where the general heuristic says that everything works, if there´is no simple proof that it is impossible...

[HartmutHolzwart]

Here is another grey ship type pattern, this one lays a strip of constant width. It's derived from half max:

By the way, has anyone else tried to find a 2c/5 stretcher for this wick?

Dear Matthias,

thanks for your support. Nicely done! I always wonder whether anybody else is interested in this kind of stuff (I am very interested in what I read elsewhere, only I cannot contribute much of significance).

I was working on and off on this specific pattern, when I thought computing power again had increased significantly. But pure power alone does not do the trick, it still must be steered cleverly to get around the combinatorial explosion! I hade an overnight run on a similar set up, but that didn't succeed until now!

Could you have alook in the other incomplete pattern I posted two weeks ago in this thread?

Keep the cheer,
Hartmut

P.S.: Interestingly, my searches came up with two alternative completions, even bigger and uglier:

Sometimes, searches seem to run more effective if you look after them... OK, that mainly comes from my tendency to narrow searches that look promising, but still...

Could you have alook in the other incomplete pattern I posted two weeks ago in this thread?

I've tried it a few times already, but I haven't found anything substantial yet. Still, it's a really clever idea, and it seems like there's a good possibility that it can be solved.

I always wonder whether anybody else is interested in this kind of stuff (I am very interested in what I read elsewhere, only I cannot contribute much of significance).

I'm always interested in your work! I think the reason people don't contribute more to this topic is that they don't have much experience or knowledge when it comes to looking for low-period spaceship components (you and Nicolay are the undisputed kings in this category).

[Alexey_Nigin]

slightly unrelated some incomplete pattern for c/4 along the same lines

Was the pun intended?

[HartmutHolzwart]

What pun?

NO. Maybe lack of knowledge of modern English language? After all, I'm no native speaker..

[Kiran]

What pun?

slightly unrelated some incomplete pattern for c/4 along the same lines

The wick-stretcher has lines in it.

[codeholic]

Would it be adequate to call this type of moving objects "greystretcher"?

[HartmutHolzwart]

The naming is fine for me!

In theory we could build something similar for c/5 (but the fixed end would have to be p12:

Code: Select all

x = 43, y = 48, rule = B3/S23
4$2bo5bo5bo5bo5bo5bo5bo$3b2obo2b2o4b2obo2b2o4b2obo2b2o4b2o$3b2o2b4ob2o

or c/6, stable part p5 (but we don't have any grey ship parts for c/6):

Code: Select all

x = 60, y = 55, rule = B3/S23

This one would also suit for 2c/7, but we are even further away from grey ships there.

If you find other potential candiates, please add them here!

Actually, p6 stabilizations often work for this p12 wick (as in the c/5 wickstretcher). Here's an example:

This idea might also allow a c/7 orthogonal stretcher that stretches the p6 variant of this wick. I described this idea briefly here.

Here is another grey ship type pattern, this one lays a strip of constant width. It's derived from half max:

How about a c/2 or slower extensible signal that can be inserted in a greyship?
