There is this one class on pattern I was wondering if one came across, basically a conduit that does one thing if the signal is "on periodic phase" and another it is "off periodic phase", none of which is blowing out of course. I did manage to get one working example, which is to eat an H on the "on...

well, I guess I would post here instead of unsure/useless discovery, a sacrificial tub allows the normal Hershel sequence to produce a glider instead of its first natural block, and a spark might restore it in theory, though that might be a tall order: x = 38, y = 19, rule = LifeHistory 2$4.C25.C$3....

as far as I know, there is only 1, and it is the following (soon to be added in the collection I assume, but for now it is hidden in the H-to-G collection, as it only works with 2 E-to-G) x = 216, y = 79, rule = LifeHistory 10$94.D3.D.5D9.D3.5D3.D3.5D2.3D24.D3.D.5D2.3D2.5D3.D5.D4.3D$94.2D2.D.

I only looked at the elementary conduit collection for the specific case of that I heptomino (aka century). It did appear that this I-to-R (and also a I-to-G) was not a complicated find, and I could find that same required block in the same relative to the produced R in 3 instances of the collectio...

If you pick that century, just a little warning that it is something that is in 2 instances hidden within a well defined circuit. I did notice that it is related to the I-heptomino, and found the following links. Do you have conduits for other common regions unrecognized by the Elementary Conduits ...

Well, I got to have my 5-function still life, if one manages to split it in 2 I will be very sad. (bit surprising the weld could work in the first place). In any case, I am convinced that a smaller universal regulator exists, so optimizing this solution is not very critical. The issue is that one ne...

The colored lifeviewer is painfully slow, I did like that "explainer glider" setup from before, I do not know if that would be good for the performance of lifeviewer to make objects appear and disappear at preselected times, so that the whole thing runs more smoothly.

I though that this "300" was a threshold on the repeat time only, the "target(s)" needs to be generated within a given number of ticks as well?
