Oscillator Discussion Thread

If we follow the usual guidelines, the discoverer gets to name the discovery.

Makes sense, but what about the object being hassled?

Good point. I won't venture an opinion about that.

My approach would be "wait a year and see if anyone ever mentions it again after that, and then see what they call it".

My approach would be "wait a year and see if anyone ever mentions it again after that, and then see what they call it".

I agree. I've been involved with the naming of new geographic features, and there's a tendency for people to want to quickly name "their" discovery before the object or feature in question shows that it deserves a name, or that a separate name is even needed. In some cases, an ad hoc designation ends up being useful enough that nothing more is needed. There are also cases where the name turned out to be just wrong as the feature changed over time. In other cases even the initial name wasn't good enough, and more detailed names became needed.

[hotdogPi]

I'm posting this in a separate post because it's unrelated to my previous post and I just happen to have the most recent post.

We should have a technical definition for an LCM oscillator, and maybe even declare them semi-trivial (so that "smallest oscillator of each period" excludes them).

Definition: Pick any one phase. Some cells can be removed so that the remaining cells still form a working oscillator. This must be able to be done in at least two ways, and the resulting periods must have a LCM of the period of the full oscillator, and the LCM is not equal to the highest period. The oscillators cannot move fully (defined as being in any phase with no other cells adjacent for at least one generation). All cells must be accounted for. Trivial oscillators are not included in this definition.

Here is an example:

Code: Select all

x = 71, y = 19, rule = DoubleB3S23
23.2B$22.B2.B41.2C$22.B.B41.C2.C$23.B.2B39.C.C$24.3B40.C.2C$25.2B41.

7.3A13.A.A24.C3.C8.C3.2C$25.A25.3C13.C.C$25.2A42.C$69.2C!

The red oscillator has a period of 22, the green a period of 4, and the white a period of 44 (which is the LCM).

This is not an LCM, as 7 is not a factor of 48.

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

This is not an LCM, and this would be true even with p8s instead of molds, as the p44 would not be stable without anything on the left side.

Here's where the definition might fail. It feels like a 138 LCM 8 = 552 oscillator, but according to the definition above, this does not qualify. It's not stable without the blockers, and including just the blockers and the twin bee shuttles ignores the non-oscillator glider as well as making it only 46 LCM 8 = 184, not 552.

This is not an LCM, as 14 LCM 70 = 70, making the LCM equal to the highest period. If, for some reason, the 34P14 shuttles were P28s that sent sparks in the same place every 14 generations due to symmetry, it would be one despite not feeling like one. (Also, this is mine. Absolutely nobody acknowledged it.)

[bubblegum]

However, this is an LCM (despite not being listed as one on the LifeWiki). Neither blinker reappears fully in a different location.

I would say this is not an LCM, as the blinkers are being hassled, and the oscillator as a whole does not function quite like two sparkers, instead nearly destroying one (two).

The first is p20, which is a good number for multiple periods of sparkers, but the sparkers keep getting destroyed. Even the skewed 55P10 doesn't work. As it contains pi heptominoes as output, it can likely be made into a gun if something is found, although maybe not at p20 without very fast repeat time components.
