Perfect Orthogonal Speeds in Life-like CA

Post by muzik » February 14th, 2017, 8:37 am

This thread probably wont be updated for a while.

Rules:

- Perfect = no numbers (except 1) preceding c in the speed notation.

- Life spaceships are prioritized (except caterloopillars and other engineerables).

- The spaceship speed, where possible, should be equal to 1/mod (and preferably 1/period), so a c/2 ship should optimally be period 2, and a c/17 should be period 17. Flippers like the LWSS would be accepted but are of lesser priority.

- If there is no Life spaceship, then the smallest spaceship in any rule wins.

- Rules with B0 are highly discouraged, but accepted if there are no alternatives.

Another smallest c/8, same bounding box and cell count, but in a Life-like rule.

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 3, rule = B356/S0356

Why, exactly, are Life spaceships prioritized over others?

Because that's the CA that most people know, and we're trying to find all the spaceships for it.

...that's close to the reason I expected, but this *is* the Other Cellular Automata forum.
And quite frankly, most Life spaceships aren't terribly interesting in and of themselves.

I think this is the smallest c/12

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 4, rule = B2in3/S2-e3

also c/47 run in golly

I'm being nitpicky but the definition of 'life-like CA' entails that it is in the Moore neighborhood and totalistic.

That's old. Now all life-like means is that it's Moore and is not a ruletable

Well, now I'm thinking that maybe I'm getting old. I'd have to agree with blah that "Life-like" is only in common use for rules that can be specified by B{numbers}/S{numbers}. Golly's "Life-Like" sample patterns are all Life-like in the traditional sense, for example.

Isotropic non-totalistic rules went into a different folder, "Non-Totalistic". Might have to adjust that for the next Golly release, though, if we start supporting LifeViewer's MAP format for the full 2^512-sized space of all non-totalistic rules -- i.e., the same set of rules that Calcyman's megacell can be programmed to simulate.

On the other hand, asymmetrical non-totalistic rules are kind of counterintuitive, and I don't know of any good examples of patterns that could be checked in to an Anisotropic sample folder in Golly. (I hope someone will remedy that soon, but right now the easiest way to experiment with such rules is in LifeViewer... Golly would need a custom rule table for each rule, and I don't think there's a script to generate such rule tables automatically.)

It certainly seems as if anisotropic rules, with the possibility of spaceships that can only fly in one direction, should definitely not count as Life-like.

I agree that the term "Life-like" should be reserved for semi-totalistic rules.
There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

Tied with this one I found a while ago for bounding box, but not for minimum population (which is 5 not 7):
