88P25 is no longer the smallest oscillator of its period... Say hello to "83P25", the new smallest period-25 oscillator!

Code: Select all

x = 21, y = 22, rule = B3/S23

I had discovered this by ripping the eater-pair "14-tick, 3-cell shift" catalyst from 134P25 (While browsing the LifeWiki on a whim) before I somehow decided to replace the entire 14-tick shift mechanism within the 96-cell P5-supported period-25 pre-pulsar shuttle (stabilised by a pair of siamese-bookends to avoid unwanted interactions with a nearby Bellman 1 catalyst) to obtain a 92-cell period-25 oscillator. Replacing the aforementioned siamese-bookends with siamese-snakes helped reduce the minimum population by another two cells. After that, I went and swapped in the block+eater mechanism from the original 96-cell period-25 PPS... and huzzah, a period-25 oscillator with a minimum population of 83 cells!

One of the self-restoring reactions I found earlier actually works with Berger's p30. Unfortunately, this doesn't multiply the period. There is a period-doubling mechanism with beacons that works no matter how long it takes, but it only works if it's an odd number.

p34 partial (The top and bottom just require a single dot; the reason why it's shown the way it is is because it's a generation early.

Here's an interesting one. It's a p152 partial. The top/bottom sparks are placed 13 generations after the left/right sparks (or blocks, as I describe below). It creates two Herschels, and the FNGs hit each others' first blocks, creating the honey farms that restart the reaction. 152 = 2×2×2×19. P8 sparkers don't work on the left and right (they do on the top and bottom, but I can't find any good ones). We obviously know of no p19s or p38s. A block does work, but only temporarily. So what I did is use one of the temporary blocks from my p76 pi-heptomino hassler. The problem with this is that it doesn't give enough room for the Herschel to emit its FNG.

Ultimately, won't this only find alternate backends to the already known sparker? I would think that to find any new sparker you would need to set up the front end of the search to make the head of 104P9 impossible (e.g., by forcing more clearance). Is there a problem that needs a p9 domino spark that isn't already solved by the three domino sparkers we already have? I've personally always wanted a p9 dot sparker that can support the following p36 pentadecathlon hassler:

I am curious if another backend even exists.

I think 196 is minpop...

It's a nice find by Entity Valkyrie, but unfortunately p88 already has a gun with smaller bounding box and lower population (164).

It's a nice find by Entity Valkyrie, but unfortunately p88 already has a gun with smaller bounding box and lower population (164).

Given how very not-picky this mechanism is, I'm actually optimistic that it can reduce at least one p44 gun multiple, even if it's only a little. It just calls for some good old fashioned catalyst searching.

I posted this P88 here due to its massive spark (not because of guns, and that is why I didn't post it in the guns thread). Adding catalysts (such as blocks or eater 1s) can change the spark, but I'm not sure which guns can be reduced this way.

Well, I've seen the thread just before posting that.
But I quickly decided to post it here. It almost wasn't even noticed so I will consider posting there instead next time in case I find another "smallest oscillator of it's period".

Noam Elkies called the original p3 eater "cheater2", and I think we should adopt that naming for the wiki pages. So the p51 can be "Honey thieves on p3 cheater2", and we won't have to create a new page each time we find a new variant.

This is one of those cases where you can post the discovery in two different threads. Also, the reason it might not have been noticed is that you didn't give much of a description for it. For example, you could have written "new smallest p51 oscillator" in your post. In fact, rule 5(b) states that you're supposed to include a description with patterns posted outside the sandbox:

Readers of your post should have a rough idea of what to expect when they open your RLE in LifeViewer or copy it into another program. Outside of the Sandbox forum, at least briefly describe (or quote another post that describes) what pattern(s) you're posting. Descriptions also make it much easier to find patterns by searching the forums.

"cheater2"

Huh, is that actually what it's called? apgoucher calls it a treater2 here:

I can manage a non-trivial p51 using Stephen Silver's treater2:

(and yes, this is just the same honey-thieves-on-p3-eater combination, but larger and with a slightly different mechanism.)

not that either name makes much sense to me, apart from the eater2 bit, or that i actually hear a difference between the two when audiated

"cheater2"

Huh, is that actually what it's called?

Noam Elkies discovered the p3 eater2 variant on July 24, 2000. It's original purpose was to construct a p39 oscillator with some p39 cells, which Elkies described as "arguably nontrivial" in an email titled "p39, and other cheats". The next day he started using the term "cheater2" to refer to this p3 eater.

I don't know where the attribution to Stephen Silver comes from. It may be erroneous.
