There is a 6-8 engine corderoid in here somewhere, left as an exercise for the reader. 14 engines (if I counted correctly), definitely optimizable: x = 744, y = 2707, rule = B2cei3-eijr4ceirtw5ciqy6-e7c/S1c2-c3-aiqy4ikntw5nqr6-a 46bobo20bobo152b3o20b3o244b3o20b3o152bobo20bobo$46bobo20bobo600bobo20b...

Helping intuitive understanding is much more important than "documenting existing common usage". I need a triple like button for this.

A: of course, Haycat2009. You can trust him as "Durnaks don't make empty promises", as he once said.

Right answer alert: but Haycat2009 made a few empty promises, therefore making this an empty promise itself.
