I was not able to find a combination where the minimal phase of unix and the minimal phase of Rich's p16 occurred at the same time.

Some of these are now out of date. I posted here about the smallest known oscillators of various periods (in response to a post by muzik). There are three updates and one correction to what I wrote there:
  • The smallest known p48 is unix on Rich's p16.
  • The smallest known p108 now uses Tanner's new T-nose:

Unfortunately that's not reduced, in the sense of the actual p92 oscillator having a smaller minimum population.

It's a smaller-population predecessor of a p92 oscillator, but if we started collecting those we'd have to start taking one cell out of every four in every block, and so on and so forth.

(Originally posted to Useless Discoveries)

It comes as no surprise that two 26-bit P40s can share the same block. As expected, if the phase separation between the two oscillators is 5-20, this works seamlessly, and with 3 or 4, it also works because the rear half of the block reforms as the front half eats. This also fails as expected with phase separations of 0 and 2. However, what is unexpected is a phase separation of 1 results in a hassler that mutates the block to non-trivially attack the original oscillator, and produces a different spark, but reforms the block and leaves the oscillator unharmed:

Code: Select all

x = 32, y = 26, rule = B3/S23
oo8boo$oo7bo$12bo$8boobo$8boo5$7boo$5boboo$4bo$7bo7boo8bo$5boo8boo8boo
$23b3o$23b3o$23b3o5$21b3o$21b3o$21b3o$20boo8boo$21bo8boo!
(When the block is shared along a diagonal axis of symmetry, phase separations of 11 and 13-20 work.)

EDIT: For completeness, a mostly vanilla 21-glider synthesis (of the 50-bit minimum phase):

Code: Select all

x = 160, y = 78, rule = B3/S23

It's incomplete. I mean, there are known oscillator periods on the list that haven't got the corresponding oscillators.

It may have some use if it were an external sparker. But we already have p7 single-cell sparkers.

I minimized the stator using JLS and found that the minimum form is only 28 bits. This makes it part of a four-way tie (not counting stator variants) for smallest known period-7 oscillator:

Up to the size you have there, with stable cells allowed in part of the area? Sure!

There are truly hideously large numbers of them, in fact -- almost certainly more than would fit in any reasonable stamp collection. Billiard tables are like methuselahs, in that there are way too many of them, and it's way too easy for people to discover "new" examples... which may in fact be new in some cases, but may still not be interesting. I'd advise reading through some earlier threads covering some of this same ground before posting any more new finds.

If you're really interested in making a larger collection of these things, it's a good idea to use WLS or JLS instead of relying on random trials with Python scripts. For the smaller sizes and periods you'll be able to run through all the possibilities in seconds or less, without missing any cases.

Here's JavaLifeSearch, and its instruction manual.

Just to get you started, one of the intermediate smallish sizes that you don't have an example of is 7x6. Here's one way to set up period-2 and period-3 searches in JLS:
sample7x6p2search.txt
Sample search file for 7x6 rectangle, period 2
(3.58 KiB) Downloaded 269 times
sample7x6p3search.txt
Sample search file for 7x6 rectangle, period 3
(11.59 KiB) Downloaded 262 times
Just load these files from File > Open after running JLS, then choose Search > Start.

You may want to send output to a file. In that case go to Search > Options first, and check or uncheck "Pause search after each solution" and "Append solutions to file" as you wish.

Familiarize yourself with all the other options in Search > Options and in Edit > Properties, too, while you're at it. You'll need the Edit > Properties options to set up your own searches at different sizes and periods.

Code: Select all

#C 1 result from p2 search inside 7x6
x = 15, y = 16, rule = B3/S23

Then there aren't any p4, p5, or p6 solutions at that size. Those searches take about three seconds, fifteen seconds, and a minute, respectively.

Then you can find almost two hundred p7s in about five minutes of JLS searching. They're all incredibly boring variants of your rightmost 6x6 billiard table, except for a few slightly interesting ones that fit two copies of the rotor into the space:

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 16, rule = B3/S23
8b2o$6bo2bo$6b3o2$4b7o$3bo7bo$3bob4o2bo$2obobobo3bob2o$2obobo3bobob2o$
3bob5obo$3bo7bo$4b7o2$6b3o$6bo2bo$8b2o!
Again, most of them are rotated or reflected duplicates. If you get to the point where you're processing a lot of these things, it's probably worth borrowing some Python code from apgsearch -- find the apgcode of each oscillator so you can easily throw out the duplicates.

-------------------------------------------------

One last word and warning (as the cold Duke said):

You can keep on with this series of searches to look at higher periods, but the search time rises exponentially: maybe half an hour for p8, several hours for p9, a day for p10 (if you're lucky), a week for p11, a month for p12, etc. Maybe you can squeeze more speed out of JLS by choosing a different sort order in Edit > Properties, but then again you might only make things worse.

Moving up to 7x7 and larger rectangles will also make searches proportionally slower. You may or may not find anything that someone else hasn't found before -- or you may find something "new" that is one of a billion similar variants, which means any given example has only a 0.000000001 Interestingness Score.

WLS/JLS beginners find it very tempting to run ambitious searches -- maybe there's a p19 oscillator in an 11x11 box! It's true, it might actually be there, but the odds are very poor that a simple JLS search will find it for you in any reasonable amount of time.

Searches that can't be run to completion are most likely stuck in some useless corner of a huge search space -- and they will likely remain stuck there for more than a century, or until your power goes out, or until your computer needs rebooting... whichever comes first.

The streams are just there to delete beehives, but I can't find a way to delete them without guns.

The only decision I made was made
of flowers, to jump universes to one of springtime in
a land of former winter, where no invisible walls stood,
or could stand for more than a few hours at most...

A fairly small p5 sparker with two different types of sparks, both new for that period (I think):

Code: Select all

x = 27, y = 22, rule = B3/S23

(Reduced and another interaction added via edit)

A few small p2/3 rotors/bushings that I couldn't find in jslife for some reason:

Code: Select all

And a weird 30-cell p4 thumb:
