Is there a known lower bound on the possible asymptotic growth rate for the population of a pattern in CGoL wrt number of steps? For example could there exist a pattern whose growth rate is slower than log^(i)(t) for all i, where log^(i) denotes log composed with itself i times?

Hold on, I realized nbsearch2 (which uses random soups instead of brute-force patterns) supports more symmetry, so here:

Thanks for the oscillators!

Where can I get nbsearch2? I couldn't find it searching the forums or online.

I am very surprised how little exploration into this rule I could find online, based on how simple it is to describe and how interesting the dynamics are that it produces. I could only find two other mentions of it online, one of which was by Kellie Evans in her thesis where she named it the LtL rul...

Is there any program that can support searching semi-exploding rules in LtL? I want to find oscillators and a diagonal ship in the rule R2,C0,S4,B4. Its a very interesting rule which Kellie Evans named as the LtL rule with the most interesting dynamics in her thesis, but for some reason it seems no ...

Are there any search programs capable of searching for spaceships in chaotic LTL rules that don't necessarily stabilize? Specifically, I want to search for diagonal spaceships in the rule R2,C0,S4,B4. It's a very interesting rule with a number of common orthogonal spaceships, however there is one so...

I'm confused about how to get a state to change to a different color if it's been alive for more than one generation. I tried using ALIVERAMP, but that makes it slowly change to a different color over time. I'd like any living cell which wasn't just born to immediately switch to a completely differe...

Is there any way to put LtL with non-continuous B/S conditions into Golly? For example, a rule with range 2 Moore neighborhood where cells survive with 4 neighbors and are born with 4 or 6 neighbors (but not 5).

I’d like to request a rule called Knightlife, which is the same as Conways GOL but the neighborhood is changed such that a cell is considered a neighbor if it is a chess knight’s move away from the considered cell. Can be done with a LifeViewer rulestring thanks to custom neighborhoods : x = 0, y =...
