Can a catalyst replace the yellow block?

This would be an NE0, and I can't seem to find any H-to-Gs with an NE0 output, so I guess this would be new.

If something does show up it will seems a little strange, though. This is also the glider that very nearly escapes from an Fx158, but then has to be suppressed to avoid a pi explosion:

Code: Select all

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

So the glider has been well-known since David Buckingham discovered it almost a quarter century ago. Is it really true that in all that time, nobody has figured out how to help that poor glider escape?

Definitely an improvement, thanks! The problem was that I somehow managed to mis-classify it, working by hand from the existing H-to-G list. The script now happily classifies it as the known NE2T56:

So my apologies for the confusion, and luckily something good came out of it anyway!

Annual Appeal
Here I might as well renew my annual appeal for someone to take over and update the H-to-G collection properly. Ideally the H-to-G stamp collection should be buildable from a script, starting with the individual annotated files in the Elementary Conduits Collection, so that repeat times and such are available.

But a good collection could also contain composite H-to-Gs, maybe even including the smallest known way to get to each lane in each direction. A complete collection of H-to-Gs for some range would make it a lot easier to write a simple script to make circuit connections. There's also some potential for making a smaller universal synchronization toolkit, for a one-step script that takes a glider synthesis as input and automatically builds a complete more-or-less-optimized gun pattern.

Dialing down the ambition a little, just cross-checking with Elementary Conduits and adding everything that has been found since 2016 to the stamp collection at the top of this thread, would be a great start -- would make it much easier to look up timing/lane combinations. Some way of marking the H-to-2Gs would also be nice, maybe just by adding the classification label from the glider pair adjustment toolkit.

I'll do the work myself eventually, but right now there's a painfully large pile of things that are higher on my to-do list -- another Lexicon update for Golly, and a much bigger update for the Online Archives, and so on.

Cross-posting an H-to-G from Unsure Discoveries, an adaptation of Extrementhusiast's Herschel conduit by Jormungant, into a very nice medium-clearance edgeshooting SW47T214:

The insertion mechanism is the same as the old RNE-19T84, but without the period-doubling or extra-cross-lane-glider side effects. Also the same as the more recent NE-27T176, but that one wasn't an edge-shooter.

Cross-posting two H-to-Gs by Goldtiger997, from the Hunting of the New Herschel Conduits thread.

They're NE-1T153 and NE2T116 -- the first examples of H-to-E-to-G, I think:

It's pretty big, and the naive snark-and-syring loop is a p420+8n gun, so I don't think this helps for the gun collection--but it's here.

Thank you for getting it to work. I tried to make it more compact, and I ended up getting a third glider output (which I highly suspect is already known).

Cross-posting a new H-to-3G from the Herschel Conduits thread -- NW26T157, a known lane but a new timing:
I'm still trying to get another glider from that region at the top instead of eating it with three blocks and two fishhooks. I found a way to get a glider from it with a block, but unfortunately, the block is just barely too close to the reaction that would form the glider.

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 30, rule = B3/S23

8$11b2o$12bo$9b3o$9bo!
My results for simply eating the region are better in the sense that they fail more gracefully and worse in the sense that they aren't as close to having the necessary clearance and in the sense that I doubt that eater 2s and eater 3s are Spartan.

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 41, rule = TripleB3S23

I am tentatively considering myself back.

i agree with goldenratio this looks…
slmake says eater 2s are Spartan.

The suppressing block at the top can probably be replaced with some other fancy nozzle to get another glider.

Nice find! With a very unfamiliar-looking transparent block. Any hope of catalyzing the reaction past the block to get an H/B/R/something besides a G out?

I can't figure out why no one seems to like to run the lovely script in the first post of this thread, to find out what the canonical name is instead of just saying "I think". NE30T17 doesn't get any matches on a forums search or a Google search, so I think it's safely new:

Not surprisingly, the p722 gun made from these two H-to-Gs isn't competitive. Even a couple of added Snarks at the edges usually bulks up the bounding box too much these days:

Looks like the singleton version of NE30T17 also makes a considerably bigger loop than what we already have for p556+8N -- not to mention that without the aforementioned hypothetical fancy nozzle, it's an emu:

Nice find! With a very unfamiliar-looking transparent block. Any hope of catalyzing the reaction past the block to get an H/B/R/something besides a G out?
There is probably a way to get a big-kid signal out of it; it will just take more effort than rolling a 2-catalyst CatForce search over the block.

I can't figure out why no one seems to like to run the lovely script in the first post of this thread, to find out what the canonical name is instead of just saying "I think".


The honest and unflattering answer is that, since you're the informal authority on whether or not an H-to-G has been seen before, we've gotten used to you doing all the work. This is unfair to you, so I will endeavor to use the script next time.

The thing is, I'm not all that good of an authority any more. Maintenance on the H-to-G and H-to-Gn collections hasn't been done properly for several years now -- I just copy new stuff into my own version of the stamp collection, whenever I happen to remember to do that which definitely isn't always.

I'd really like to figure out how to recruit someone to take over the H-to-G collections and get them back up to date, maybe along with a separate lookup table of some kind for H-to-2Gs and H-to-3Gs. I seem to have a few too many stamp collections and suchlike on my plate already.

Anyway, I hope everyone will find that running that script in the first post, starting from let's say a two-state version of any H-to-G including the input Herschel, will be a thoroughly painless experience.

Very nice! In a strange turn of events, however, the G1 pair it emits turns out to be (at least initially) a problem, since the obvious gun (at p532, formed by chaining two of these conduits) cannot as easily be converted into a single-barrel form:

Sadly, this is larger than the p532 gun in the collection — so it's not really useful unless someone actually wants a p532 G1 pair gun...

Luckily, though, 532 isn't too awkward of a period, and one pair of streams can be eaten by an eater 2 and one out of the other pair by a p4 sparker...
You don't really need the sparker -- the history cells weren't all in quite the right places, so there's room for a 7x9 eater in the center:

-- not that that makes any difference to the bounding box. One of MathAndCode's alternative eaters cut off a couple of columns, though.

I happened to find this:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 31, rule = LifeHistory
3.A.2A$3.3A6.2A.A$4.A7.A.2A2$5.2A$5.2A16$4.3D2.2A$4.D4.A.A$3.3D5.A$11.
2A$.D$D$3D3.2A$6.A$7.3A$9.A!
Is there a permanent catalyst that works in this situation? The closest I could find was this:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 11, rule = LifeHistory
10.A$4.3C2.A.A$4.C4.A.A$3.3C4.A2$.D$D$3D3.2A$6.A$7.3A$9.A!
I am tentatively considering myself back.

That reaction relies on the catalyst's leftmost two cells removed on gen 8 (otherwise it would make a hard-to-reach HF) so my best bet would be Bellman.

Unfortunately, I don't have Windows, so let's hope that someone who does sees this.

Bellman can be run on Linux as well. There's an ubuntu binary in Bellman-szlim repo. (and compiling isn't too hard)
