B2ae3er4a/S2cn3enq

Here's a variant without B2e, and a photon-flipper as an example:

The rule has a strange-growing ship, that almost certainly limits at C/Infinity, but I am not 100% sure:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = Irrational
AD$B$C!

Maybe if the back end could move faster somehow, it could create a ship whose speed limits at some irrational number?

[BlinkerSpawn]

You can't have any sort of finite pattern with an irrational speed, because any pattern that stays under a given size has an upper bound on its period and must travel an integer Manhattan distance in the meantime.
However, there may be ways to create patterns with irrational limiting speeds either in the front or back ends, and the simplest way I can think of to do this would be to create what would essentially be a tag-system simulator, with characters being read off the back of a tape and appending corresponding strings to the front. As long as the lengths that are removed/appended vary between tape characters and the limiting ratios of character frequencies are irrational, this should result in "half-irrational" speeds. A good starting point for such a system might be the infinite Fibonacci word.

[Gamedziner]

You can't have any sort of finite pattern with an irrational speed, because any pattern that stays under a given size has an upper bound on its period and must travel an integer Manhattan distance in the meantime.

The maximum period for any pattern that stays in a finite bounding box is
(total number of states, including dead)^(total number of cells of all states in the bounding box, including dead),
where "^" represents exponentiation.

[AforAmpere]

You can't have any sort of finite pattern with an irrational speed, because any pattern that stays under a given size has an upper bound on its period and must travel an integer Manhattan distance in the meantime.

Which is why the pattern in the demonstration grows, an attempt to make the limiting speed some irrational number. It obviously didn't work, but it was just a test anyway. This rule has a MUCH slower decrease in speed:

Still not limiting at any positive speed, but it is kind of neat anyway.

[BlinkerSpawn]

I was thinking something along the lines of CollatzFuse, where the speed of the tape doesn't vary with length.
The backend would travel at c/2 but as long as each character appends a string at least two characters long, then given the proper substitution rules the frontend will travel some irrational speed greater than c/2.

Finally, I found a rule with two knightship slopes! (8,20)c/58 and (6,9)c/24, with the former being more common oddly. This rule also has two c/8's, a few c/6's, a 6c/14, and a looot of c/2's. I will apgsearch this after I set up my new computer.

I noticed that the rake shoots copies of the spaceship that the rake is made out of, therefore a breeder can be made. Maybe we could make a hydra?

The reaction second from the right is very nice and was found by accident. However, I currently lack any method of getting gun periods higher than p72.

Goldtiger997,

A knight ship gun! Well done. Is this the first such gun discovered in the Non-totalistic rule family?

Please add your gun to the collection here:

The reaction second from the right is very nice and was found by accident. However, I currently lack any method of getting gun periods higher than p72.

Here's a way to triple the 6c/14 gun period:

Not very efficient, but it works.

EDIT:

Is this the first such gun discovered in the Non-totalistic rule family?

Definitely not.

This could lead to a gun, some different phases can be used to yield other gliders but none work:

x = 101, y = 18, rule = B2e3aeiy4ce5i6c7e/S2-n3-a4artz5aeny6cn

You need the diagonal collisions too. Here is a 4-glider (not possible from infinity) explosion:
