c/3 grey ships

[HartmutHolzwart]

In 2006, I started creating grey ships and shortly worked on c/3 grey ships. It is pretty easy to find parts for grey ships because of the small period and the wealth of short wide components. Here is one of the first examples I created:

Later on, I added a part for getting a perpendicular front. Using these parts in combination many slopes at the front can be realised:

Note that all the parts used can be plugged together quite arbitrary because of the common interface. This small interface is also the key to finding the parts with wls.

Steeper versions can only be found with custom connections. Here is the steepest descent I could find so far.

Have you found any components where the stripes are perpendicular to the direction of the ship?

[HartmutHolzwart]

Here is a bulky component for a 2c/6 against the grain front:

Code: Select all

x = 247, y = 204, rule = B3/S23

But so far no idea how to build a complete grey ship from these components!

I know this probably isn't the point of this greyship thing, but it can easily be pulled by two other c/3s:

Well, you can't extend it so it isn't really a greyship. I call this type of ship mini-grays

[wildmyron]

<snip> c/3 greyships </snip>

However, at the backend, the descent is not very steep. Here is a slightly steeper descent:

Code: Select all

<snip> rle for c/3 greyship with backend slope of 5/6 (10/12) </snip>

Note that all the parts used can be plugged together quite arbitrary because of the common interface. This small interface is also the key to finding the parts with wls.

Steeper versions can only be found with custom connections. Here is the steepest descent I could find so far.

Code: Select all

<snip> rle for c/3 greyship with backend slope of 6/5 (12/10) </snip>

The challenge is now to find steeper parts and find the maximum slope that is attainable with period 3.

Here is a c/3 greyship with backend having slope of 4/3 (16/12):

Code: Select all

I was able to reuse the custom corners from the ship above for the inner part of the 16/10 component, but had to find additional stabilisations for the outside part.

Unless I am mistaken there is no steeper p3 backend with spatial period of < 12. I believe any steeper components are going to become successively larger and more complex, but there might be something surprising out there. I haven't searched for 18/12 components which would give a slope of 3/2 - this might be a good space to search.

Great work! Good to see someone else working on grey ships again.

Somehow related:

Here is an example of a c/4 grey ship, featuring one new part and a few new connections of old parts.

<snip> c/3 greyships </snip>

However, at the backend, the descent is not very steep. Here is a slightly steeper descent:

Code: Select all

<snip> rle for c/3 greyship with backend slope of 5/6 (10/12) </snip>

Note that all the parts used can be plugged together quite arbitrary because of the common interface. This small interface is also the key to finding the parts with wls.

Steeper versions can only be found with custom connections. Here is the steepest descent I could find so far.

Code: Select all

<snip> rle for c/3 greyship with backend slope of 6/5 (12/10) </snip>

The challenge is now to find steeper parts and find the maximum slope that is attainable with period 3.

How did actually find that part?

Here is a c/3 greyship with backend having slope of 4/3 (16/12):

I was able to reuse the custom corners from the ship above for the inner part of the 16/10 component, but had to find additional stabilisations for the outside part.

Unless I am mistaken there is no steeper p3 backend with spatial period of < 12. I believe any steeper components are going to become successively larger and more complex, but there might be something surprising out there. I haven't searched for 18/12 components which would give a slope of 3/2 - this might be a good space to search.

[wildmyron]

How did actually find that part?

I used both JLS and WLS-nb with toroidal boundary conditions + shift for the top/bottom edge I can't remember which one actually came up with the solution and I didn't keep many search files along the way, but I've attached one of my In Progress files from WLS-nb which illustrates the search. You'll note in the original search state that the width is 16, the shift is 12 and there are at least 12 columns of 'Don't Care' cells and twelve columns of stripes agar. These are necessary to match up the shifted top and bottom edges and also to prevent errors in the initial search state. I've introduced anisotropy with a single On cell in one of the Off rows.
