Parts of the cycles though depend on CO though, which is almost completely depleted now.

They could make it if they evolve photosynthesis.

To clarify some nomeclature discussed in Discord for the fast components collection, this is an up cis-carrier siamese bookend: x = 4, y = 6, rule = B3/S23 b2o$obo$o$2o$o2bo$2b2o! This is a down cis-carrier siamese bookend: x = 3, y = 7, rule = B3/S23 b2o$obo$o$2o$o$2bo$b2o! This is an up trans-carr...

I had mentioned formamide and ammonia. How might they use those? There is also isocyanic acid and hydrogen cyanide.

They could likely use isocyanic acid and hydrogen cyanide as sources of energy, at least until they get depleted.

Ok, what new clades of microorganisms do you think might arise then?

There will probably be more organisms that make extensive use of reactions involving nitrogen-containing compounds.

I think this is a good time to create viruses. We could start with parasitism or the package method we talked about earlier, though to do that we would need to find a reason for organisms to mutually benefit from sharing genetic information. I think that it's better to wait to create viruses until ...

You mean we should construct the amino acids according to the list you made?

I mean the new variants of organisms that will increase the biodiversity.

Let's use those then. From now on, if we're faced with a choice where we don't have much support for either side, let's choose the familiar one.

Okay. Now can we discuss the new variants?

Here's a p258 beehive factory: It can also be viewed as a p191 traffic light factory.

Here's a p32 oscillator:

Edit: Here's a p44 oscillator:

I found this video about bait-and-switch phenomena; I think it's rather interesting (it's pretty long so I skipped to the interesting part, about 42 minutes in) I suspected that the link was a bait-and-swtich phenomenon but was expected it to be to Never Gonna Give You Up (until I saw that you incl...

so did you get my point or not

I didn't get it at first, but I get it now.

The Herschel bears resemblance to the symbol of Saturn.

That's mentioned on the wiki page.

I think your avatar oscillator is an even bigger WoW - post pattern please !

Corderizing/AbhpzTaing: The activity of combining multiple engines. I don't think that it should be called Corderizing because Charles Corderman did not arrange switch engines so that their debris cancels out. Corderships are instead called Corderships because the unstable puffer that serves as the...
