I've written it up as Tanner's p46 for now -- since Tanner discovered it, I think he should have the honor of naming it. The wiki article can be moved as appropriate.

Gencols did not give me anything -- but gencols historically hasn't played nice with me (and/or I just haven't figured out how to use it) so I'm not sure I can trust my result.

Nice! Looks like it won't be possible to improve on the old 49*16 two-twin-bees gun, though, at least if we go by bounding box as usual... unless, just possibly, there's a Bellman catalyst or some such that can convert a single oscillator's phi spark into a glider.

I'd bet more on a lucky p4/6/8 sparker interacting in just the right way to make a p92/138/184. Speaking of p138, maybe try rubbing Gabriel's p138 up on it.

Speaking of p138, maybe try rubbing Gabriel's p138 up on it. I tried a non-exhaustive manual search for something p4 or p6 earlier, but the only thing that came up was a p6 placement that released a glider on one cycle but blew up the next. It's possible there's something that works among the arrangements that I didn't try, or that there's a p8 or 138 placement that would work, or even a transparent catalysis -- I looked preliminarily at that option earlier and didn't find anything, but my manual search was shallow and nowhere near exhaustive. x₁=ηx V ⃰_η=c²√(Λη) K=(Λu²)/2 Pₐ=1−1/(∫^∞_t₀(p(t)ˡ⁽ᵗ⁾)dt) $$x_1=\eta x$$ $$V^*_\eta=c^2\sqrt{\Lambda\eta}$$ $$K=\frac{\Lambda u^2}2$$ $$P_a=1-\frac1{\int^\infty_{t_0}p(t)^{l(t)}dt}$$ http://conwaylife.com/wiki/A_for_all Aidan F.

Compatible rules are: B3/S23 - B34e8/S234c6i8. Sorry to cut&paste the full pattern, but this belongs to my favourite patterns from now! Even new banners, displays are possible with smaller elements using the above component.

Congrats to Sokwe et al, jolly astounding!

Nice work Kazyan and Sokwe!

@Kazyan this is the second time recently (out of many more times), that a discovery of yours has sparked a lot of discussion and discoveries!

I spent a long time applying many tricks to try and reduce the synthesis from 19 gliders without success. The trick that got the closest was making the carrier/snake + junk in 3 gliders, and using the junk + 2 gliders to make a pi.This is one of the close calls (the reaction was found with gencols):

Code: Select all

x = 44, y = 14, rule = B3/S23

17bo2bo$3b2o9b2o8b2o11b2o$13bobo3bo16bobo$15bo2bobo17bo$18bobo$19bo! A general method I tried that someone else might be able to get to work, is to use one glider to collide with the junk and create a spark which reacts with another glider to create the pi in the right spot: Code: Select all x = 72, y = 35, rule = B3/S23 11b2o38b2o$12bo39bo$12bob2ob2obo31bob2ob2obo$13bobobob2o32bobobob2o$o 13bo25bo13bo$3o37b3o$3bo39bo$2b2o38b2o$13bo$14b2o6b2obo$3b2o8b2o7bob2o 17b2o$3b2o38b2o$15bo$55b2o2b2o$56b2obobo$55bo3bo17$70bo$69b2o$69bobo! The block can also be replaced with a few different 2G constellations for no extra cost. Can anyone else reduce the synthesis?
