Obviously it's possible to get a signal out eventually (e.g., add a few more Herschel conduits, then bounce the block killer in with a couple of Snarks). But that's all definitely out of range of practicality. Too bad -- it's a very nice find otherwise.

If the source conduit were one where the Herschel could continue, the next spare glider could maybe be bounced in with a single Snark to kill the block. But no luck there either, of course.

### Re: The Hunting of the New Herschel Conduits

A nice pi-to-explosion:

Code: Select all

x = 31, y = 22, rule = LifeHistory
6.A$6.3A$9.A$8.2A2$.2A$2.A$2.A.A$3.2A4$A$3A$3.A$2.2A25.2A$29.A$27.A.A$11.3C13.2A$11.C.C9.2A$11.C.C9.A.A$24.2A! Unusually, the ship/eater combo catalyzes the reaction twice. (And since the explosion moves backward from the pi, it would probably be best to look for a G-to-X from this.) I Like My Heisenburps!

Yes, there's lots of good stuff in there. I can get the R-mango/dove to travel well just by noodling around manually with some of these options. No doubt automated searches can turn up much more interesting stuff.

But has anyone tried to get a century signal into that conduit? It might be good to come up with some alternate ways to breed doves. It's really too bad that the pi-to-2C signal splitter doesn't connect here.

Also, I can't help feeling that there's some sort of conduit that produces a bookend from a mangled B, something like this:

I do know that a bookend+spark produces one:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory
.3A$A2.A$2A2$.A! The only way I know to produce one from a clean LOM is like so: Code: Select all x = 29, y = 15, rule = LifeHistory 8.A$7.A.A$8.A2$6.5A$5.A4.A$4.A2.A$.A2.A.2A$A.A.A5.A15.3D$.A2.A4.A.A 13.D2.D$4.2A2.A2.A12.D2.D$9.2A8.2C4.2D$18.C.C$18.C.C$18.2C!
As for producing a LOM in that position, I have seen things like this differently mangled B:

Code: Select all

x = 23, y = 7, rule = LifeHistory
13.3B5.A$11.A3B2A4.2A$9.2ABAB3A2.2A$9.A4B3A2.2A$.3D5.A3BA2B3.2A$D2.D 6.3A2B$3D9.A!
The base reaction actually produces two LOMs, but one gets suppressed by this particular mangling.

### Re: The Hunting of the New Herschel Conduits

R Mango/Dove also turns into a very accessible Herschel pretty quickly if you feed it a blinker. I went to no long effort to restore the blinker. The extra block catalyst just converts the active area into a TL near the sacrificed blinker, without the block it becomes a distant pond.

Code: Select all

x = 32, y = 16, rule = B3/S23

It runs with bellman_szlim_073.exe The basic idea used for this search is to limit results to anything that fits in a small enough rectangle. For 'max-global-complexity 21' it means on-cells in the Bellman results must fit in about a 7-by-7 or 8-by-5 rectangle. I'm currently working on a more official version, but there were a few more issues than I expected, so it will probably be a few more weeks. I will wait to document the new features and settings until that release.

The catalysis look interesting, but aren't the results somewhat similar to ordinary bellman output? Did your program save you time to get the same results as bellman? Edit: and could you tell me what precisely global-complexity means? EDIT2: I'm not sure if I have the time to learn a new search utility, but seeing the descriptions in that link sure looks quite nice... (these days I just don't do searching ig it requires a new utility, like Bellman.) If I had infinite time, this would surely be in my priority (along with randomagar ofind tweaking gfind afind etc.) Best wishes to you, Scorbie simeks Posts: 369 Joined: March 11th, 2015, 12:03 pm Location: Sweden ### Re: The Hunting of the New Herschel Conduits Scorbie wrote:Did your program save you time to get the same results as bellman? Yes, that's the point! With 'max-global-complexity 21' that search runs in about 75 minutes. If I reduce max-global-complexity to 15 it runs in less than 3 minutes, but now I only get results that fit in a 5-by-5 rectangle. Without a limit on the size of results, like it would be in standard Bellman, that seach would be totally impractical to run to completion. simeks Posts: 369 Joined: March 11th, 2015, 12:03 pm Location: Sweden ### Re: The Hunting of the New Herschel Conduits A new H-to-C that right now only connects to the smallest C-to-G, which creates a H-to-G with timing SW29T165: EDIT: Added Syringe weld to pattern.
