An almost working recipe (suboptimal, especially the last component) :amling wrote: ↑April 19th, 2024, 3:50 pmI was dreaming again of trying to make a (2, 1)c/6 wick stretcher for this wick:
Is it possible to synthesize something like that piecemeal? Specifically I mean (a) synthesize anchor points (like integral sign) sufficiently far away from each other at some high period multiple of (2, 1)c/6, (b) step-by-step extend them towards each other, and (c) somehow stitch them up when they meet.Code: Select all

I just have no idea what is or isn't in range to be synthesized and I assume/hope this i the right place to ask.

In order to direct further researches, can you summarize the current state of the art of (2,1)c/6 technology, please ? The most important to know for synthesis optimisation would be:
- known types of rakes (available directions, edge-shooting ones ...)
- garbage deletion for small objects
- glider synchronisation limits
- known p36 puffers
With the strict aim of synthesising, this way would be far more efficient. Here is a quick solution in 20G per segment with repeat time 111:dvgrn wrote: ↑April 19th, 2024, 5:23 pmHmm. Syntheses of objects like xs20_31248g0s248gzy21y11246 make me wonder if it might end up being workable to grow that wick from one end, rather than building separate pieces and then stitching them together later.
