I've committed the new SL syntheses as of 19 January 2020 19:11 UTC+8 to Shinjuku.

It doesn't need Einsteins theory of relativity to imagine yourself riding along with the glider. You have already lost. I am still searching piece 3. On cellular automata and the real world, Konrad Zuse did write a 1969 treatise called Calculating Space ( Rechnender Raum ) where a model of the phys...

Here's another problem:

20p3.39 xp3_0q52z122qbgzy256
21p3.86 xp3_0q52z122qbgzy256

It's a 20P3.

Found the missing 21P3, xp3_0q52z122qbgzy21ac:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 14, rule = B3/S23

Looks good! I think you can get the cost down to 60 or less -- at least, there are some three-glider beehive recipes near the beginning of the recipe that I suspect could be combined with constructing some of the other nearby bait still lifes later on.

There needs to be a list of all p2s and p3s up to 21 bits available somewhere. I have those. They aren't in APG format (which I presume would be the best ones) but I can convert them and post them somewhere. What would be the best place? I got the apgcodes from Niemiec, albeit with hyphens in place...

I thought you are trying to construct the minimal form

I'm not. 38P7.2 is much easier to synthesise than 37P7.1, so I chose that. For the purposes of Shinjuku only the period matters.

P.S. the P49 bumper loop uses 37P7.1, not 38P7.2,

I don't care. It's still a p49 bumper loop. Don't be overly picky on details.

Freywa

I had earmarked the p49 bumper loop – or at least a larger variant of it – for synthesis soon after completing the p43 loop. Here is a p77 bumper loop in 99 gliders: x = 1100, y = 106, rule = B3/S23 1023bobo$1024b2o$1024bo$1044bo$1045bo$1043b3o2$1039b3o$1041bo4bobo 10bo$542bo497bo5b2o10bo$543b2o502b...

The following smaller oscillators need to be added: p18: p18 bi-block hassler p35: p35 honey farm oscillator If LCM spark oscillators are to be included as well, then these too: p20: mold on fumarole p21: caterer on 28P7.3 p24: caterer on figure eight p28: mold on 34P14 shuttle p33: caterer on ratt...

Can you help me understand things well enough that I can write a LifeWiki tutorial/walkthrough for the Shinjuku setup process? The current unknown thing I'm trying to solve is where to put Shinjuku and lifelib files relative to each other on my system, so that the Jupyter notebooks will work. But i...

Freywa

Thanks, this looks like a good start! But is it possible for you to start your walkthrough a few steps earlier than the above? There are some key unstated assumptions here, somewhat along the lines of April's "Run the notebooks. Run all the cells from beginning to end. The beauty will show." ... al...

Freywa

You might already be aware of this, but I posted a synthesis for a variant of this oscillator way back here . Obviously, improvements could be made with modern technology. I was not aware, and thank you very much for that. I was stuck at how to get the loaves inside the oscillator. My 45-glider syn...

Freywa

I've cloned the Shinjuku repo, of course, but right now I don't know if it will take me minutes, hours, or days of looking through the codebase, to figure out what script to run to turn those "best Shinjuku steps" into a Golly pattern that I can inspect. Open the Terminal in the Shinjuku repository...

I made a serious oversight in my synth for the quadruple burloaferimeter, in that I used a 3-glider synth for the traffic light, forgetting that with the space available I could have used a 2-glider one.

True; however, all P2 (and P3) oscillators up to 21 bits have been enumerated by computer search. Catagolue is only currently exhaustively searching for syntheses of 19-bit still-lifes, as that is the current edge of the envelope; the envelope for P2s is currently 17-18-bit ones, so both have a lon...

There's something sinister about bi-pentadecathlon 1. The great majority of them form from a traffic light colliding with a well-developed pi mushroom, and then some kind of spark is applied at the back. Could this be marshalled to give a synth cheaper than 8 gliders?
