Something i can't classify, posted by @otismo:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 13, rule = B35cj6ce7/S34-cry5-jnr6ci78
5$5bo$4b3o$5bo!
#C [[ STEP 32 ]]

[...]

I believe the same pattern was posted earlier by toroidalet:

One of those "factories" you commonly see in ExtendedLife-like rules:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B35cj6ce7/S34-cry5-jnr6ci78
bo$3o$bo!

I think it could be described as a "novelty generator" or a "chaos factory". In this case, there is an interplay between several factors:
o high symmetry causes activity not observed for asymmetric seeds in general
o there are sufficiently common orthogonal spaceships of different speeds, causing propagation of chaos (for example, see T = 15000...17000 when a faster spaceship collides with a slower spaceship in the same direction)
o the central "engine" does not appear to have any common low-period orbits (where it could settle)

One interesting thing to do is to track repetitions in the central part. For example, the central 7x7 square from T = 66 repeats completely at T = 147, 429, 502, 562, 580, 643, 689, 780, 805, 845, 908, 971, ...

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B35cj6ce7/S34-cry5-jnr6ci78

Okay, this rule has a lot of cool stuff; first, a (3,1)c/44 camelship:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = B2-ac3-akr/S1c2eik3-eir4r8
b3o$o$o$b2o$3bo!

In addition, there are c/2 orthogonal, 4c/20 orthogonal, 8c/38 orthogonal, and c/4 diagonal spaceships:

Code: Select all

x = 60, y = 13, rule = B2-ac3-akr/S1c2eik3-eir4r8
4ob4o9b2o34bo$o7bo9b2o2bo12bo7bo11bo$3b3o12b2o2bobo9bo9bo$18b2o2bo2bo
7bo11bo9b2o$23bo10bo9bo11bobo$35bo7bo15bo5$42bo$41bobo$42bo!

There are two common yet unrelated p14 oscillators:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 7, rule = B2-ac3-akr/S1c2eik3-eir4r8
11b2o$2o9b2o$obo8b2o$bobo$2bobo7b2o$3b2o7b2o$12b2o!

There are plenty of oscillators (periods known are p2, p4, p6, p14, p16, p18, p20); here's two (boring) RRO's:

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 5, rule = B2-ac3-akr/S1c2eik3-eir4r8
bo12bo$obo10bo2bo$3bo$3bo12bo$2bo12bo!

(And an extendable p2 phoenix for fun:)

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 3, rule = B2-ac3-akr/S1c2eik3-eir4r8
bo5bobo5bobobo5bobobobo$obo3bobobo3bobobobo3bobobobobo$bo5bobo5bobobo
5bobobobo!

One cool thing is the failed replicator. On its own, it evolves into four puffers:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 3, rule = B2-ac3-akr/S1c2eik3-eir4r8
o7bo$bo5bo$2bo3bo!

The 8c/38o above is based on it. And this is all from 2000000 soups -- what else will apgsearch find? (I hope to see either new natural tech based on the failed replicator or an odd-period oscillator, but we'll see what happens.)

EDIT: I don't know if we can make any tech with this but the p18 oscillator is based on this block fuse, and it appears to be reburnable in the case of the oscillator:

Code: Select all

x = 37, y = 37, rule = B2-ac3-akr/S1c2eik3-eir4r8

Don't make a new thread when you found a new OCA pattern. Post it here instead.
3-cell chaotic growth in the rule is also known:

I figured I'd move it here since there's something to say about the "aperiodic" part that might be useful.

Running this kind of thing in Golly really helps figure out what's going to happen in the long run. In the four-cell pattern, each of the quadrants very quickly ends up being permanently independent of the other three (which is almost universally true for growing Life without death patterns, but I don't know for sure if there might be exceptions sometimes. There are certainly small temporary exceptions early on, like in the southeast quadrant of the four-cell pattern.)

In this case, even by T=60,000 the units of repetition in the three non-empty quadrants are all starting to become visible. And the same repetitive dendrite shows up in all three quadrants, as it happens.

Now, the three-cell quadratic growth that b-engine mentioned (copied from here, maybe? -- different orientation, though) is much more interesting. The southwest quadrant quickly settles into that same fast-growing repetitive dendrite again. The same dendrite also makes an appearance in the southeast quadrant, but at T=333,000 it's still competing with a parallel dendrite that doesn't seem to want to give up the fight. In the northwest and northeast quadrants things are even more exciting.

It should be possible, though maybe kind of tricky, to write a simulator script (in Golly, maybe) that monitors the growing edge in a quadrant and throws away the irrelevant part every now and then -- should be able to track the long-term behavior of those dendrites a lot further than just leaving a multi-quadrant pattern running until memory runs out.

I suppose that, given that the rule has been proven Turing-complete, not every possible quadrant is always going to settle down into respectable periodicity, no matter how long it runs -- right?

I Would have to agree with b-engine here that this post belongs in the sandbox thread but I do not fault d/dx for posting it as they seem to be relatively new. I do feel that if a post like this is made in the OCA thread it would best fit in the MDiOCA thread.
I have seen a bunch of random threads asking questions or posting on topics that do not meet the standards of a thread, and it could be nice to add to the forum rules to address this.

I suppose that, given that the rule has been proven Turing-complete, not every possible quadrant is always going to settle down into respectable periodicity, no matter how long it runs -- right?

dvgrn poses an interesting question. Reactions in the same quadrant seem to always interact eventually interact, After the first few gens Reactions in different quadrants don't seem to interact, and the size of reactions over time does not seem to reliably increase. Because of this, I would assume that every possible starting quadrant will eventually become periodic.
I am basing this on the idea that for a pattern to be infinitely chaotic, over time the size of the active region of the pattern must tend to infinity, otherwise there would only be a finite amount of possible configurations of cells that can fit within the bounding box.

Seems to be a breeder, but i'm not sure:

Extremely sparky p352 oscillator:

Code: Select all

b2o3b2o$o2bobo2bo$o2bobo2bo$b2o3b2o!

It can form from the stairstep hexomino, making it relatively common.

Unfortunately, soups with dihedral symmetry seem to explode, making this rule unapgsearchable:

x = 7, y = 1, rule = B2i3-kqy4eiknwyz5-eijn6a7e/S2-ak3-er4-iknry5jq6c7c
7o!

Are there any non-exploding rules where the p352 works? I used the object finder on Catagolue but it didn't specify a range of rules -- does that mean the oscillator is isotropically endemic?

[confocaloid]

Are there any non-exploding rules where the p352 works? I used the object finder on Catagolue but it didn't specify a range of rules -- does that mean the oscillator is isotropically endemic?

The Catagolue object finder can only determine rule range / endemicity for sufficiently low periods (if I remember correctly, below p128 or so). If that succeeds, the Catagolue object page says explicitly that the object is endemic, or else shows its rule range. (See an example.) The p352 is beyond the computational limit, so no rule range computation is performed.

I checked with a script that the p352 is indeed endemic to this CA within the 2-state R1 Moore isotropic rulespace.

[Mathemagician314]

This rule has a 5c/38o, a 2c/11d, and a p178:

Code: Select all

b3o16b4o18b4o$2bo20bo18bo2bo$2ob2o15b2obo19bobo$b3o17bobo20b2o$2bo!

Here's the catalogue; there's not a lot of other interesting stuff there, because the rule is very slow to apgsearch.

[confocaloid]

[...] Here's the catalogue; there's not a lot of other interesting stuff there, because the rule is very slow to apgsearch.

Actually, apgsearch runs reasonably well (~35-40 soups/second on my system with other searches running at the same time). "Very slow" would be if you had to wait more than a day to produce a 10000-soup haul.

edit: p12 oscillator from C1:

This rule, which I call "cubby 10", has a lot of notable things, like this p2 which is extensible horizontally AND vertically:

Horizontal and vertical is actually the same thing in isotropic rules.

edit: Looks like the two extensions are slightly different though, but people usually specify both horizontal and vertical as orthogonal.

Cool "semi-natural" breeder:

After I knew how to use LLS, I've ran searches for the fastest oblique spaceships:

Who had an idea of turning SAT solvers into CA searching programs, I would want to give the ownership of these ships to him.

Anybody with a faster computer than me want to help apgsearch this rule? I experimented with the rule B34j/S23-a4a, which I believe has been explored by some others before, and found a rule with some other cool natural patterns; B34j8/S23-a4acet6i8. It has a natural p112, 4c/42d, 2c/16d, and a p272 gun as well as a 2c/24o and an oblique (3,8)c/22 puffer (shown below in Cordership form) which were both in the original rule:

(A stable glider eater would be nice as well, so we can make the gun an oscillator.)

Also, here's a rule with some cool spaceships and a p40 osc.

The rule B34jq/S23-ay4a6a makes the B-heptomino an (8,3)c/22 spaceship instead of puffer:

Apgsearch is pretty slow, though, and I can't manage to upload a haul -- can anybody else?

EDIT: You can replace B4q with B5e, but the minimum conditions for the resulting spaceship explode.

This is a multistate variation of HighLife (B36/S23).

When an alive cell reaches maximum age (state 63), the cell
"counts as 3 alive neighbours" instead of one.
