I do not think this p2 phoenix wick has ever had a completion before (at least, not as a phoenix):

A much simpler version.

Years ago I did a number of postings on building Period-2 Oscillators. They summarize my efforts at trying to categorize the various "links" that can be used make up such oscillators. You might want to find and take a look at them.

Thanks for the tip!
By the way, that is a different wick. In both of the phases of that wick, there are only dominos. In the wick stabilization I showed, however, the dominos change into dots and back.

You are correct.

I never got around to doing much with that type of link (Type F) and that's a Join to a couple of Type B Links I don't seem to have listed.

Will save this in case I ever find the time to return to playing around with Links again. (The one I showed is Type D). Was always on the lookout for ways to join different types.

The B-heptomino based dependent reflectors are nice, but I'm still very curious to see a method for sub-p17 independent reflection.

Here is an idea that could maybe get us periods 15 and 16 if we are extremely lucky. Start with a particular honey farm predecessor and hit it with an eater and dot spark (some other sparks work as well). This produces a banana spark potentially capable of reflecting a glider stream at p15 or p16 (but not p14). Then use additional sparkers and/or glider streams to turn the excess junk from the reaction back into a honey farm predecessor in the right location and time.

For example, here is something that ends up putting a traffic light predecessor where the honey farm predecessor should go, giving a pattern that is "4 cells off" (although in an unsolvable way) from a p15 reflector:

Here is a potential mechanism for a p15 independent reflector:

I've been trying to find a way to turn the input glider into a dying spark with no success. PDs don't work.

Why bother? PD is already a p15 independent reflector.

Why bother? PD is already a p15 independent reflector.

With the 180-degree reflection caused by a single PD, the output glider would hit any input gliders that came afterwards.
The 90-degree PD pair reflector is a P15 oscillator that can reflect gliders by 90 degrees, but it is not able to reflect a P15 glider stream.

so, i almost had a p15n glider reflector, and almost gotten my own p15 glider gun
