Doing a p6 weld to supply both of these sparks seems more likely:

I'm not sure about that. Such a solution would imply a p6 bouncer with better clearance, and the bouncer has been around long enough that we'd probably know of any improvements for that period if they existed. Of course, I could be wrong.

I disagree on that one. There isn't a reasonable definition of "clearance" for which a solution implies a higher clearance solution (bounding box isn't necessarily smaller, and the boat replacement spark is part of the same osc. The fact that the bouncer has been around long enough implying it is thoroughly searched is completely incorrect, e.g. p4 bouncer.

[MathAndCode]

The fact that the bouncer has been around long enough implying it is thoroughly searched is completely incorrect, e.g. p4 bouncer.

Part of my point is that p6 would be one of the "easy" periods, small enough to be searchable but large enough to have enough clearance.

Given that it has now become reasonable to make bespoke oscillators for specific interactions, I've been giving some thought to the idea of a universal, low-period block keeper or blinker keeper. Such an oscillator would have a sparking area that is suppressed by a block or blinker, which, when removed, would be recreated.

You need a base keeping reaction first, though. I tried to find one, but the only result of interest so far is that a pond and two blinkers make the front part of a copperhead, which might reduce the synthesis.

Unrelatedly, here's a partial for a p14 hassler:

Code: Select all

Bellman has not yet found replacements for the hook-with-tails.

This is a reduction(?) of the long-known p3 implementation of a periodic TL-push by Noam Elkies.
This is known territory (p14 tl hassler by Karel Suhajda) but still thought the idea was interesting:

I agree. Every T-nose-specific interaction that I tried destroyed the sparker.

Yes, but it's not T-nose-specific. The first time, anything with a one-bit-edge that simply dies, such as a dot spark, pipsquirted domino spark, or duoplet works, and a pipsquirted domino spark also works the second time.
