the original soup just produces a very large blob which shrinks into that.

If you're asking for help, it doesn't hurt to provide the link when it's requested, so people can see for themselves if any clues are available in the Very Large Blob.

I checked Goldtiger997's script this morning, and there are no three-glider syntheses of the particular Small Blob quoted above. I tried fast-forwarding it several ticks, but no match there either.

However, the soup linked to above is just the second C1 soup. If it's not useful, there are ten more options to look at just in C1. The first soup looks reasonably promising also.

Just to be clear, the numbers you see interspersed between the Shinjuku comment lines here are not your still life numbers. I can't find the formula for assigning your numbers, so I devised a simpler numbering system based on apgcodes; as an example, 17.0 to 17.7772 list the 17-bit strict still lifes in lexicographic order of their apgcodes. These "lex-apg" codes up to 18-bit still lifes can be found here.

In my numbering, 17.1199 and 17.1644 become 17.5750 and 17.5749 respectively, and both the two syntheses you showed are already in Shinjuku/Catagolue.

You can query Shinjuku from the command line for cheapest syntheses if you have the necessary dependencies:

Code: Select all

>>> from shinjuku.search import dijkstra, lookup_synth
>>> min_paths = dijkstra()
>>> lookup_synth(min_paths, "xs17_cidikozw56")

Hmm? I reckon I'm just missing the obvious here, but in what sense is this a methuselah, much less one that stops evolving at generation 133,100?

Some gliders are being shot backwards from the switch engines and reacting with the ash near the origin. They finally bore through it at 133100.

I guess it's an unusual methuselah because it has a long lifespan "for a reason" rather than "by accident".

Indeed. I wouldn't classify that as a methuselah unless the reaction managed to destroy the switch-engines (as was the case for the 750k methuselah from b38s23/C1).

I see that there's something different about this pattern compared to other methuselahs, but I don't see why destroying the switch-engines or not would be an important part of the requirements. Is it because you don't think that an infinite-growth pattern can be said to have stabilised? I would say that an infinite growth pattern can be considered stabilised so long as it is growing in a regular way. (The phrase "regular way" isn't precisely defined, but I think switch engines definitely satisfy it.)

(The phrase "regular way" isn't precisely defined, but I think switch engines definitely satisfy it.)
The way I think about methuselah lifespans is that you measure the time until they "go boring". My instinct would be that infinite-growth patterns should count just as much as patterns where the bounding box keeps growing indefinitely (which is almost every methuselah ever found).

However, it's definitely true that infinite-growth patterns haven't traditionally been included in the "methuselah" category. Otherwise there are all kinds of difficult cases that would have to be considered, especially from Nick Gotts' old "Patterns with Eventful Histories" blog, from back in the days when weblogs were so new that not many people knew how to use them yet.

I'm not sure if anyone has figured out yet whether this 32-bit pattern ever goes boring, for example:

Code: Select all

#C nikk-nikkm1r90-w4s906
#C http://nickgotts-nikk-nikkm1r90-w4s906.blogspot.com/
#C pattern given at http://nickgotts-eventful.blogspot.com/
x = 38, y = 940, rule = S23/B3
6bo$5bobo$$4bobbo$4boo$4bo25$34bobo$37bo$33bobbo$32b3o873$28bo3bo$29bo
bo$30bobbo$33bo$33bo24$o$bo$bbo$bo$o$bb3o!
I think I'd vote against adding the new two-switch-engine soup to the methuselah list, to avoid opening yet another can of methuselah-worms. But whether it does or not, it seems like the pattern is a record-breaker in some kind of category. Longest time to "go boring" from the smallest bounding box, I think, as well as the longest lifespan for a natural asymmetric 16x16 pattern? Maybe it needs its own category name, or just a new infinite-growth section of the methuselah-list page.

And Now For Something Slightly Different
I surveyed the current final four of the "kaleidoscope" patterns in D8_4, and all the most common ways showed up for a kaleidoscope to go boring:

Code: Select all

Seed                        Ticks Before Boring  Borificaton Method
D8_4/m_MqDCX5fsCpSu5292567  13,466,679           eater near center, boat-bit
D8_4/m_wENPkZhTVTmx3581125  16,467,563           eater tie eaters in arms, boat-bit
D8_4/m_55MBifjCkqyg1071727   9,307,907           glider-block bounce, 90-degree annihilation
D8_4/m_AsRrkqLwMJuA9526739  16,467,583           converges to m_wENPkZhTVTmx3581125 pattern
It might be interesting to see if any new ways to go boring have showed up in D8_4 or D8_1, since the last time Bill Gosper was looking at these things a few years ago.

I checked the last five of the D8_1's, and they're all pretty much instantly boring. The only delayed-boring one I've run into so far is the very first one, D8_1/27CHaXKUTxiw6209593 -- but there are a lot more left to check.

Code: Select all

#C D8_1/27CHaXKUTxiw6209593 goes boring at T=456.601

Very nice! This leads to a 16-glider synthesis, and a 24-glider synthesis of the one previously-unsolved non-trivial 24-bit P4 pseudo-oscillator (It's quite possible that there is a cheaper way to delete the attached doves):
EDIT: using a different soup, reduced to 12 and 20 gliders, respectively:

Indeed, only one glider each is required, for a 14G synthesis:

Code: Select all

x = 99, y = 30, rule = B3/S23

Nice symmetrical p4 from G1 (found by rliston) which forms in a strangely satisfying manner:

x = 16, y = 16, rule = B3/S23

What I would imagine to be a new p4 from D4_x4, found by carybe:

The top right is A for All (synthesis), and bottom right is 24P4.4 (synthesis).

Scorbie wasn't claiming that the oscillators on the right were new, but rather that they were known relatives of the potentially new oscillators on the left. It happens that A for Awesome's intuition was correct: the p6 is not new. It's in jslife (osc/o0006-bil.lif 5th column, 1st row) and was found by Dean Hickerson in 1997 using dr.c.

The p4 is relatively small and has high volatility. Such an oscillator would probably have made it into jslife if it had been found before 2013. Since it doesn't appear to be there, and I don't otherwise remember it from the forums, I also suspect that it's new.
