Is there a way to make the hive and block from three gliders to make an 8G synthesis of 14.617 or will this be 9G?

You can replace the block with a glider:

Code: Select all

x = 49, y = 20, rule = B3/S23

EDIT: Which means the component can easily be compacted to a single step in some cases:

Code: Select all

Saving another glider:

I don't have a 3-glider synthesis of that constellation, but 9G is one better than the previous 10G. This also reduces 15.504 from 13 to 12 and 15.505 from 12 to 11, (EDIT: and one of the two beacon variants from 16 to 12.) Unfortunately, it doesn't help the 18-bit pseudo-still-life (like 14.617 but with two adjacent blocks).

I found this still life and it's not in the patterns list, nor is it less than 24 cells. I'm new to the forum and I don't know any place to check except the one provided here, but can someone check if it is new?

This is a 26 bit still life. It's not in the catalogue and I don't know how else to check (I'm new). Has anyone seen it before?

[Goldtiger997]

Generally, a still life is not notable unless it has special eating or reflecting properties. This is becuase still-lifes with no special properties are usually trivially easy to construct.

For more information about whether you should post patterns, see part 4 of this post: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2092

Possible synthesis component if someone can find a suitable reaction to edgeshoot a length-3 object in the specified time and location: ...

At first, I thought this might help synthesize some of the unsynthesized variants of Elkies's P5, but unfortunately, the bump on the loop faces the wrong way. Still, I took another look at them, and this one turns out to be buildable (EDIT: and two others derived from it):

Unsure about this 4-glider hook-on-wing synthesis. It wasn't in this database or LifeWiki, and although it's probably known, I wouldn't know where else to check.

It's on chris_c's display_synth script which can be found here; viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2441&start=175, and also on BobShemyakin's database.

Thanks! I didn't know about that script, it will be very helpful in the future.

EDIT: Another partial synthesis, just needs something to salvage the top at t≈20.
