Thread For Your Naming Proposals of Unnamed Patterns

[rutabaga]

The following three still lives are (from top to bottom) order-1 coiled snake, order-2 coiled snake, and order-3 coiled snake:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 10, rule = B3/S23
2ob2obo$ob2ob2o3$2ob2ob2obo$ob2ob2ob2o3$2ob2ob2ob2obo$ob2ob2ob2ob2o!

The coiled snake is an infinite wick, while these still lives are finite parts of the wick.
I feel like the numbering should start with 1, and anything shorter than order-1 coiled snake is not coiled.

So would this be a long^3 order-2 coiled snake?

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 8, rule = B3/S23
2$b2o$bobo$4bo$5bob2ob2obo$6b2ob2ob2o!

No, it would have to be called something like a [long^3, normal, normal] order-2 coiled snake. Here's a [long^3, long, long^4] order-2 coiled snake:

Code: Select all

x = 18, y = 10, rule = B3/S23

And if you would rather have a [long^4, long^4, long^4] order-2 coiled snake, then you might as well rearrange things and say "order-2 coiled long^4 snake" instead:

Code: Select all

x = 22, y = 14, rule = B3/S23

o$20b2o!

Extending it forever in both directions makes the coiled long^4 snake wick:

Code: Select all

x = 59, y = 32, rule = B3/S23
