In 2019, Ian07 made a commit to all-rules.txt that assigned the name "Majority" to b45678s5678 in catagolue, which is not totalistic ( B45678/S5678 has B4 but no S3). What was the first source that referred to the particular outer-totalistic rule as such? It could not be Mirek's rule lexicon, becau...

Since guntrue_45 is no longer the smallest odd-period gun (this title belongs to guntrue_25), please update page p45 pi-heptomino hassler.

Done, thanks for pointing this out.

SKOP 23 yet again, this time with 55 cells (55P23): Found by Nico Brown.

I have not been doing a great job informing people, so the turnout has been low. As such, I've decided to extend the voting period from 0:00 UTC on November 1, 2022 to 23:59 UTC on December 31, 2023. This will be the final extension. I'm assuming you mean 2022? Would be one heck of an extension oth...

Not trying to be rude, but you may want to check User:Bubblegum/SSLWSM - none of these are improvements over what's already listed there.

Are cells allowed to touch the islands? If so, a lot of work previously done is suboptimal.

No, sorry. They're allowed in this thread by bubblegum though.

Add this family of p45 gliderless guns to the wiki news.

These are stale now, unfortunately. Right now the news ticker only goes back to October 3, and there's four more items on October 2 before we finally reach October 1.

Why would this be the case that 5 is impossible? It's not exactly like the quintic formula and its parity issues, so why is 5 the limit? So there are three cases to consider for how the center cell is stabilized (with case A also including its mirror as a corollary - just take the entire pattern an...

Is this a mod 21.5 oscillator?

Indeed it is - LifeViewer's "Identify" tool says that it has a period of 86 (43) and a mod of 43 (21.5).

At Two-glider octomino , there are (at least) two grammar mistakes: - note (1) should be capitalized or put in parentheses, - paragraph 3 of "Evolution" says "...the last beehive survives some longer...", while it should say "some time". Why do you say "gramma" instead of "grammar"? Fixed, thanks f...

OCA:Logarithmic replicator rule should be updated with the following spaceships:

• (2,1)c/6, found by me on December 21, 2020
• 14c/504o, found today by Peter Naszvadi and improved by toroidalet

Done.

after all, Conway's game of life has existed for more than a decade.

Over five decades, actually. This website is just the latest chapter in its history, which goes back to the late 1960s.

Offhand I don't see why the transformation in question would have given Catagolue any trouble -- x = 48, y = 64, rule = B3/S23 bo$2bo$3o$25bobo$25b2o$26bo13$18b2o$18bo$20bob2o$19b3obo2$17b3o$16bo2b o$17b2o5$2b2o$3b2o$2bo20$42bo$41b3o$41b3o$41b3o$42b3o$45bo$39b2obobobo $39b3ob2obo$39b2o4bo$44bo$45b3...

p128 pi-heptomino hassler in 178G (but has 2 extra sacrificial gliders in the first step because of all the empty space so hopefully it makes catagolue process it correctly) RLE The first step is actually invalid as well due to one of the gliders crossing paths with the first T-nose. However I subm...

I posted an oscillator synthesis and submitted it to catagolue, but now noticed that there are exactly 20 empty rows between the two still lifes, and not every step is one where I can easily move gliders into the gap. Is there a way to get it submitted? Unfortunately, sometimes the only way is to w...

hmm, the rule doesn't work.

"a123" and "b123" are both undefined.
