The upper left part is in the R-loaf, while the lower part needs to be solved.
I have half a dozen possible predecessors, and this one is clearly much less ugly than any of them! The still-life below is very similar (and, more important, stable). As it turns out, this is one of the ones I've previously synthesized (and as I look at it, I remember this being one of the more difficult ones). Maybe this could be used instead?

The final piece is in place! Now ALL 15-bit still-lifes are glider-constructible!

Code: Select all

(This also solves one of the as-yet-unbuildable 16-bit still-lifes as well).

About the p9, the boat was intended to be used to get to the preblock predecessor. This is not necessary for the other side, since there is a step that "kills" the cuphook, but does not affect anything else. Simply remove that step.
mniemiec wrote:As for the P9, there is one major problem. It's easy to turn one of the inner blocks into a boat using standard techniques. This requires a slight adjustment to the step that uses the internal pond (topmost glider must be delayed one and move one cell right, and leaves a debris block).
Which step are you talking about, and which glider?

Getting the L-tetrominos there would be difficult, as the corner bit must appear before, or at the same time as the edge bit (to avoid prematurely hitting the snake) - while most ways of forming these form them in the reverse order.

This is so close I can almost taste it! Unfortunately, getting two domino sparks in there simultaneously will likely be very difficult. Perhaps from something like a honeyfarm predecessor os similar?

WoW! I don't recall seeing any wick-stretching methods that work anything remotely like this. I'm not sure how useful it will be for general object syntheses (as it's usually easier to work from a boat than from an eater) but should definitely go into the repertoire anyway, just in case!

These two syntheses are new, but all of the steps are derivative. I don't recall seeing these specific oscillator instances before, but they are also derivative.

I seem to have a vague recollection of a 3-glider collision to make a skewed pulsar, but I can't seem to find any record of such a beast. I'm not sure if I my memory is mistaken or not. There are, of course, many ways of making one from 4 gliders (or 5, as above). Does anyone remember?

This is a different 24-bit pseudo-jack-stabilized-by-toad than the one previously known, and I just noticed it when building the half-jacks. Creating a still-life in the right position is easy, but turning it into a toad is not.

Why not? There are a LOT of oscillators that need to be synthesized!

These are the unbuildable objects currently on my plate. I'm deliberately omitting larger ones that can be trivially built from smaller unbuildable ones.

I'm currently aiming at explicitly building all still-lifes up to 15 bits (done!), pseudo-still-lifes up to 16 (1 missing),P2s up to 18 (from 14 bits: 1,3,14,21,49), pseudo-P2s up to 17 (done), P3s up from 17-21 bits (2,2,2,10,3), higher-period oscillators of 20 bits (1 P4, 1 P6) and 21 bits (2 P5s).

I'm also considering the buildability (without actually making every single one) of still-lifes up 16 (around 67), pseudo-still-lifes from 17-20 (done,8,11,78), P2s from 19-20 (73,112), pseudo-P2s from 18-21 (done,done,done,4), higher-period oscillators from 22-25 bits (8 P4s, 2 P5s*, 2 P6s, 1 P10).

(* there may also be many versions of Silver's P5 for which the stabilizing still-life can't be added; there's no way of trivially determining this without actually attempting each synthesis. As there are 54,148,314,? of these, this is a LOT of work. Just counting them was hard enough, without attempting explicit syntheses of all of them!)

Here is an abridged list of some of the above:

On another note, what are other good archive sites besides archive.org? I can't access MN's site via that, since it's being "crawled by robots.txt".

Ouch! Thanks for catching this. This mistake is in both of them. I will need to re-vamp the beginning steps. I typically run the patterns to mamke sure the "before" and "after" images are the same; unfortunately, this is no guarantee that one steps "after" matches the next steps "before", so sometimes this kind of error does creep in.

I haven't been able to find a way to make the two block-precessors close enough to fix this. Do you know of one? (In fact, I was looking for a way to make just one, and can't seem to find one, although I'm pretty sure I have seen them before).

This DOES contribute a 5-glider reduction to the following new synthesis, and also the 16-bit still-life it is based on. (Serendipitously, the spurious debris boat just happens to be in exactly the right place to make the spark I need, so I save one glider to remove it, and 3 more to create it!)

Yes. I definitely agree. A while back, I started to do this (and so far only ended up converting 2), but there is a lot of work involved. For example, my own collection has over 800 separate files, each one devoted to a particular kind of conversion (for example, block to boat), many of which contain multiple synthesis variants. In addition to this, I have a collection of over 400 unsorted spark syntheses from Dave Buckingham's collection, a few of which I've managed to assimilate into user-friendly collections (e.g. all the ways to "make an accessible domino spark, where both bits form simultaneously, with one spurious bit on one side but not the other"), but most of which still require similar rearrangement.

This mechanism is very familiar. It nicely adds 2 to the length of an inductor, which allows inducted objects to remain unchanged. The problem is that in this particular situation, the tub has a 1-cell-wide surface, which is fine for an inductor of length 5, but not for one of length 3. It could work if (say) one were to start with a bookend, bun, or house, and then transform that into a tub, but I don't think I know of a tool to do that. (A boat should be easy, but that also happens in stages, 3 to 2 to 1, and the one generation when the surface has length 2 often poses difficulties - usually requiring a momentary distortion of other side of the inductor - sometimes possible, sometimes not.)

But when I altered the response to include both of your edits, the preview page only shows the first edit, even though the main page shows both. I.e. in one case, the preview page was one edit ahead of the main page, and in another case, it was one edit behind!)

Very nice! It never occured to me to build this from a smaller, functioning shuttle.

Wow! I have only one synthesis in my files that takes more gliders than this - Dave Buckingham's amazing synthesis of Hustler II from 161 gliders.

Nice! Two new periods for which I have never yet seen any examples of syntheses for.

Edit: As a clerical note, the extended p47 was found by Jason Summers in May 2003 but he used 4 pre-pulsar shuttles to support it. In February 2009 Nicolay Beluchenko noticed that two shuttles would suffice.

Re: Synthesising Oscillators

Post by mniemiec » October 18th, 2013, 12:00 am

When I posted the Half-jack syntheses, both of them were missing a step. Unfortunately, it wasn't an easy step to add. Fortunately, it's just easier to build the front end slightly differently for the same cost and avoid that step altogether.

Code: Select all

The P30 double-eureka this is made from can be skewed by moving the bottom half right two cells. gdThis is also one glider cheaper, as the first two blocks can then be made from 3 gliders:

Code: Select all

x = 36, y = 18

Unfortunately, the P47 can't be skewed itself.
Extrementhusiast wrote:Bulachenko's extension to the p47 in 142 gliders and 4 LWSSs
This doesn't quite work as shown. The last step has two pairs of gliders (at top and bottom) passing through each other. One can fix one of these with a kickback from the right, but if one fixes both simultaneously, the kickback gliders pass through one another, requiring yet another kickback. (I worked on this for a bit, but ran out of functioning neurons).

Something else that might reduce this a bit is producing the blinkers in the final stage, not from gliders, but from glider-object collisions (for example, glider-blinker that offsets the blinker (1,3) spaces, or possibly two different mechanisms where the activating gliders come in at different times, reducing the need for some of the kickbacks.

This now brings the asymmetrical synthesis in at the same cost as the symmetrical one.
Extrementhusiast wrote:Single-pulsar p29 in 43 gliders
Nice! I tried making this one a few months ago (pretty much the same way, for the still lifes), but couldn't figure out the last step - how to inject the pulsar and bring both tubs in behind it simultaneously.

Nice! I had tried to build this before, but could never figure out how to get the last toad in place. I see you found it almost as difficult. However, "incredibly expensive and covoluted" beats "it can't be done" any day!

When I first joined this site a few months back, I had found that old synthesis on one of the posts here. I figured out what the core mechanism was, and found a way to make it out of 8 gliders (one less than you show here):

Wow. All these new syntheses should keep me busy for quite a while!

I'll need to re-check my "Marquis de Sade" files, so to speak. I have a huge number of files where I tried to build something, and got most of it built except for just one or two key killer steps.

The usual method for fixing crossovers:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
7.A$7.A.A$7.2A$2.A$A.A$.2A$5.A$6.2A$5.2A$2.A$.A.A$.2A!
Also, applying the step twice for the p33 saves one glider over the symmetrical version. I guess I didn't make that clear.

The 2-pi explosion is actually closely related to the 5-glider syntheses of twin hat. Here is a 7-glider synthesis of this object based on a known twin hat synthesis:

Code: Select all

x = 88, y = 63, rule = B3/S23
