Re: Soup search results

It really is impressive!

It makes one think what could be out there unreachable by wls

Yes, it looks as if no one else has ever seen it before, either! Theoretically I could have missed some prior art somewhere, but there are no 6c/12 puffers based on an unescorted pair of B-heptominoes on the twin-B puffer section of pentadecathlon.com, the LifeWiki, Jason Summers' puffer collections, or my email archives.

Seems to me it would be in jslife-20121230.zip/jslife/c2-extended/c2-0012.lif if this was a known puffer mechanism. In standard B-pair puffers right back to Bill Gosper's 1971 "puffer 1", the escorted B-heptominos are always two cells closer together.

Code: Select all

#C 12x13, two 10x13, and 8x15 minimal 6c/12 block pair puffers
x = 22, y = 73, rule = B3/S23

In standard escorted B-pair puffers you can generally truncate the trailing junk anywhere beyond five or six cells back from the front edge without destroying the leading Bs, which will usually find their way back to a stable orbit.

By contrast, the above mechanism is fairly delicately balanced. The active reaction following the B-heptominos almost catches up every 12 ticks, in a way that suppresses growth at the outside edges and keeps the Bs from destroying themselves. Changes to this trailing reaction will usually destroy the puffer.

Can anyone find a way to add *WSSes to turn this into a rake? It doesn't look as if it would end up small enough to compete with backrake 2 -- the side sparks turn into blocks, which are easy to clean up but hard to hassle into anything more interesting. Similarly, does anyone see any hope of getting that wick to burn? There's a way to hit it with a glider that generates a new glider to continue on the other side, but generally it seems painfully non-flammable.

Wow! That's definitely new! I think its the first c/2 object that doesn't have any parts that are p2 or p4.

I wanted to combine two to cancel out some of their debris and maybe make a spaceship similar in style to the early Corderships, but I could only find two reactions that really did anything:

Code: Select all

I wasn't very thorough with my search, so there very well may be some other interesting combinations.

Re: Soup search results

WOW! I've only run < 15 million symmetrical soups, and I stumble upon something that's new, from what I've been told here. Now I'm going to run nothing but symmetrical soups for a while in hopes to find something else that's interesting, but I'm glad I found this. I really hope this inspires more people using apgsearch to use symmetrical soups so they can find gems like this.

EDIT:
Fixed a typo that should be corrected for what it's worth.

Re: Soup search results

This one is just awesome! Makes you think what else out there to be found with soup search.

It refers to alternative names of *WSS (as it's also almost natural), and it has the 'puffer' part. Does anyone mind?

Someone please run a pair of those through gencols and see if we can get a rake or something. (gencols can do that, right?)

Re: Soup search results

@flipper77: Congrats on the new yl12_1_8_c7310da81295b6611e6e4e34a80a5523! This is really exciting!

(If, 12 hours ago, someone asked me to bet on the first moving object to crawl out of a symmetrical soup other than switch engines, standard spaceships and combinations thereof, I would have speculated that the lightweight Schick engine would win. This has changed my entire outlook on Life.)

In fact, this is the only known semi-natural non-c/12 puffer (everything else being a switch-engine or symmetrical ark). Why has no-one posted a glider synthesis for this remarkable contraption yet?!

So... at least two people have independently produced bootleg versions of apgsearch with in-built symmetry options. This is something I've been meaning to do for a while, although at the moment I've been working on catagolue (the online cloud-hosted server where apgsearch will ultimately dump its results). It will have separate censuses for ordered pairs of the form (rule, symmetry) for self-consistency (otherwise diagonally-symmetric soups would skew unix frequencies by several orders of magnitude, and suchlike).

Only now it looks as though more people will be running symmetrical soups than anything else, since it promises such exciting results.

Anyway, flipper77, you said you've only ran 15 000 000 soups with symmetry. How many soups has Lewis Patterson simulated? (I'm trying to get a confidence interval for the frequency of this object in symmetric soups, although it's difficult to extrapolate meaningful information from a single event.)
codeholic wrote:Wow! This is VERY impressive! Congrats! I think this puffer deserves a personal name!
Seconded. I definitely like codeholic's suggestion of pufferfish, but of course the discoverer deserves the honour of naming the beast.
flipper77 wrote:I really hope this inspires more people using apgsearch to use symmetrical soups so they can find gems like this.
Agreed!
Kazyan wrote:And I think this is apgsearch's first "major" breakthrough.
Indeed. Not to belittle those impressive glider synthesis reductions, but this is certainly in a league of its own... for now.

How many soups has Lewis Patterson simulated? (I'm trying to get a confidence interval for the frequency of this object in symmetric soups, although it's difficult to extrapolate meaningful information from a single event.) Btw, I checked some numbers, and it turns out that it was only my 4th symmetrical soup search. 1st search I only went through 100 000 soups, just to test it out. 2nd and 3rd searches were both 1 000 000 soups just to see what I'd get. 4th search I ran through 2 500 000 soups, and the Pufferfish showed up about halfway through. For those wondering, the root is "2014-11-24T03:28:19.988000_Flipper77" (without quotes) and soup number is 1107936, even reflection across x, odd reflection across y. 15 000 000 was only an estimate since I just started symmetrical soups less than a week, so the real number is actually between 3 000 000 and 3 500 000 soups, so I really couldn't tell you how it was me instead of someone else.

Nowhere near 15 million. And I spent a lot of time switching between different symmetries and odd and even widths etc. For a symmetry type that could've had a chance of producing the Pufferfish I maybe ran maybe 2,000,000 at most. calcyman Posts: 2117 Joined: June 1st, 2009, 4:32 pm Re: Soup search results Well I've done an overnight run of roughly 13 000 000 soups with the same symmetry as flipper77, and not found anything like a pufferfish.

There have been 112 soups which produce (two copies of) MWSS-on-MWSS, and a further 14 soups producing (two copies of) HWSS-on-HWSS. So it appears that pufferfish is maybe 100-200 times rarer than MWSS-on-MWSS in symmetrical soups, so it's probably about 10000-40000 times rarer in asymmetric soups. Hence, we're looking at about 10^13 asymmetric soups before a pufferfish magically appears. (This is a really crude estimate, and may be an order of magnitude out in either direction.) Catagolue should be able to census the data from about 10^14 to 10^15 soups before exceeding memory quotas, so a sufficiently distributed search will probably start seeing a few of these pufferfish (and other rare objects such as loafers).

Here's a medley of objects from lots of symmetrical soups, first of all, an 88-bit still life!:

So out of about 21 000 000 soups with at least one line of odd symmetry, I've documented 2 occurrences of the pufferfish, so if enough people run similar searches, it will show up sooner or later.

Actually, eleven gliders:

The two traffic lights not part of the pre-pulsar can't both be synthesized with two gliders. (I haven't checked yet if one could be done with two and the other with three.)

Re: Soup search results

Whoa! That quasi-natural smiley is something, alright. Great find.

Considering its size, perhaps Elkies' p5 will eventually show up? Or, almost as good, has this object been found yet?

If it has, it could simplify the synthesis for Elkies' p5.
