Re: gencols: techniques
Thank you! I think I simply didn't transcribe the '-rule' argument to the post, but I remember using it. However, I was not aware that patterns were aligned in that way, which certainly was the mistake in my attempt

I can't get gencols to find a certain pattern
So, I was trying to get Paul Callahans' modified version of gencols to find an already-known reaction in rule B3678/S23. I provided the following arguments: ./gencols.exe -pat good_ship1.in glider.in -nph 4 -tc 5 90 -gen 136 -test1 good_ship1_refl.in -nosynch -filt ap With 'good_ship1.in' containing...

Re: Changing gencols' rule
Thank you! What I'm looking for seems to be lifelib's genera/lifelike.py script that you pointed out. I'll try to make sense of it.

Changing gencols' rule
I tried making a script to automatically search for valid bit-parallel functions, but the search space was awfully large and the search was slow. Then I tried writing one manually, but the task was extremely difficult. Anybody knows how I could implement transitions for other rules than the default?

Re: Small computers in WireWorld
Yeah, you're right. I'm having a tough time trying to make a simpler Turing-complete system, even considering other things apart from CA!

Small computers in WireWorld
It could be interesting to try to find a very small pattern that is capable of arbitrary computation. Of course, in order to fulfill this requirement, such pattern would need to be infinite in size, so one can allow a simple memory device, like an arbitrary-sized loop of wire, not to be counted as p...

Re: HPP-Gas Logic Gates
The 3-output gate provides two ANDNOT outputs and two identical AND outputs. The problem is that some of these gates are very large or require very exact timing. A small OR gate would be very valuable.

Re: HPP-Gas Logic Gates
So did I. It took me many failed attempts to finally come to a solution. Anyways, HPP is not designed to be Turing complete, so it's surprising... I think I'll start building an HPP Turing machine when I have more time. It will probably require new components to be found.
