Re: Soup search results
By the way, when you found the transparent fishhook reaction with the two-glider octomino, why were you searching for O-accepting conduits in the first place? If it's because you have conduits that make clean two-glider octominoes, then dvgrn, I, and probably others would be interested in seeing th...

Re: Results of catalyst tests
For what it's worth, whenever a nice-looking new catalyst shows up, I throw it into a 2-catalyst CatForce search with spartan objects, with the input pattern being a Herschel. The results did not indicate a unique catalysis there. I vaguely remember that some glider + spartan object collisions produ...

I can concur that without Exa's innovations in collisrc and transfer.py, a complete library of syntheses for 19-bit still lives would have been completely intractable.

Thanks for explaining it to me. Only one question right now: What if there's a glider that wraps around the board or something?
