useless-looking pi-to-R...

The R output is actually really close to useful. With the reaction envelope as posted, a simple boat R-to-B would actually work... but unfortunately a late spark not represented by the state-2 area comes a couple of cells too close:

There are a couple of R-to-Gs that come even closer to working, since their catalysts are all pretty far forward of the R input.

The problem I'd really be worried about with this candidate PFx53R is the input. I can vaguely imagine that there might be a way to spark a glider from behind to sneak a pi into such a horrible location -- or maybe collide an *WSS with a glider. Theoretically.

But can anyone actually find a way to get a pi to that location in practice, with a signal from the east or southeast -- no matter how expensive the method? (No fair sending in gliders from the northwest, or *WSS from the west.)

If not, maybe that can provide some reasonable limits about where to forbid catalysts, in conduits that are supposed to be pi-to-X. Something like this, maybe:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 11, rule = LifeHistory
A$4BA$8BA$12B$11B3D$13BD$11B3D$12B$8BA$4BA$A!

None of the pi outputs we have are quite as edgy as this -- and even this wouldn't be good enough to get past the big catalyst in the PFx53R.

[Sphenocorona]

I think I've seen a reaction travel orthogonally a quite considerable distance with a fairly thin reaction profile, but it was in a completely useless situation (it went backwards into the conduit, and said conduit was unlikely to be connectable anyway). It appeared from something like a HWSS with a damaged back end, sorta like those back-end damaged B's that make very edgy HF/TL's with a very thin reaction envelope.

If we can find a usable input, though, there IS actually a way to get an output, by replacing the far away block with a different clean up method:

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 30, rule = LifeHistory

Nice! Well, at least we have options like this, then:

It's still a bit tricky to restore the block --I'm sure it's doable somehow, but it may be expensive. There's a frustrating near miss where a block catalyst in the period-tripler block factory is only one cell away from overlapping with the block in this conduit. I didn't see anything else that worked on a quick survey, but didn't try all the other still lifes besides blocks that could be put in the same place.

[Sphenocorona]

Okay, I found an example of an edgy pi input that might be able to be produced by a conduit (not sure if it's the same one I had found):

I have a feeling that particular one won't show up, but at least it proves that it should theoretically be possible.

Nice! Looks like there are probably quite a few broken *WSS variants that will settle into a far-forward pi. That gives us something to hope for, for all the currently impossible pi inputs that people have posted in the last few years.

Just for the record, something along these lines is also possible with the block restoration in the glider-activated variant. It's nowhere near worth the current price, but it works, so some simpler H-to-still-life could theoretically do something similar:

Code: Select all

x = 41, y = 40, rule = LifeHistory

For either case, any new mechanism that can complete one of these connections would be far more interesting (and generally useful) than the original conduit.

Probably too messy to work out, but the following is an H+ship collision that makes an LWSS within 45 generations of colliding:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 16, rule = B3/S23
8b3o$8bo$7b3o11$b2o$obo$2o!

And a surprisingly clean (24,5)c/59 B fuse, probably reburnable in some way:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 74, rule = B3/S23

Edit: like this, I guess? I think it'd be better to do something with the leftover blocks, though.

...except the boats are the wrong way. :/ I'd use gencols, but I don't think there's a way to set it up so that the glider only hits a certain spot (in this case, the phi spark predecessor so that it doesn't destroy the B)...

Edit: this almost works, but it destroys the second B's outgoing gliders:

As Sphenocorona pointed out below, though, the reaction probably isn't worth pursuing further.

[Sphenocorona]

There's also the issue that the other side isn't getting regenerated. It might be possible to make fully reburnable, but it sound like it would be far easier to focus on other reburnables...

This reveals that your last two P5s are in fact the same.

Thanks! I'm not very good at stator reduction.

Oops.

Some oscillators found with dr2....

Not sure how many of these are new, although they were marked UNKNOWN.

They are probably all new, as long as you were using an up-to-date knownrotors file. For the most part, nobody keeps track of oscillators with periods below 7, as they are very common, and they can usually be found directly using WLS or JLS. Here are (probably) minimal stators for the p9 and the p10 (found using JLS):

Nice oscs! The first one seems to by found by Sokwe some time before but the second one seems to be new:)

An unstable g->boat+TL. Amusing but I'm not sure if this can be useful. I can tell you that no spartan catalyst was able to save the bait here.

A block in one of the red positions makes the bait block to recover, which indicates that there may be other catalysts that can restore the block.
