Re: The Hunting of the Periodic Herschel Conduits
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...

Re: Thread for your reactions that might be useful for conduits
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....
