Any sufficiently advanced software is indistinguishable from malice.

Not even close to a record breaker (although i'm sure one exists in this rule), but something I find nifty:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 8, rule = B2e3ain4-cjqtw5ceiry6-ac78/S2ac3ajknq4eiqwy5-ain6-e78
3bo$2b3o3$bo$obo$bobo$2bo!
It is a failed version of a working spacefiller that stabilizes into a giant p88.

78132/10/2570 is 3.04015564, which, as I said, doesn't really break any records.

EDITed for one cell reduction

Kinda old topic, but I think I found smth. Probably record-breaking natural FI score, though not the fig index.

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B2in34-ajnrt5cekqy678/S12n34ceijqz5678
3bo$obo$bo$2bo!
I promise it stabilizes :) even if it doesn't look like stabilizing in any time. Pattern stops growing completely (no wickstretchers, no ships) at about 126 million cells, after 500k gens or so. FI score ~= 25 million, much bigger than anything mentioned above (except the engineered enormous calcyman's one). Running this took about an hour on my computer, and I'm sure there are better ones in this rule.

I challenge you all to find a bigger natural FI score :) Can we resurrect this topic?

No problem

@calcyman: why not recursive filter?

Code: Select all

x = 897, y = 1149, rule = B3/S23

That pattern has a Fig score of about 81.252, with F=421860, I=8, G=649.
I moved each of the dots 10 cells away from the center and got a Fig score of 83.887, F=448910, I=8, G=669.

Im too lazy right now to do some more experimenting but I think the Fig score will go to infinity as the dots move further and further away.

This is 100% cheating. It's rather obvious that you can put two puffers on a collision course a trillion cells away, and get as high FI score as you want. That's not the point of challenge.

I will invent a new metric: figg, or fig2 = f * i^-1 * g^-2 = f/(i*g^2).

This is better since it penalizes quadratic growth that lasts forever.

New layers are not needed since quadratic growth is the fastest possible in 2d moore ca.

I run this for a few hours:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 6, rule = B2in34-ajnrt5cekqy678/S12n34ceijqz5678
b2o2$2o2$o$o!
and it unfortunately might never stop growing, because new wickstretchers are appearing quite often. After 722k gens it has a population of 489 million.

EDIT: similar results here:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B2in34-ajnrt5cekqy678/S12n34ceijqz5678

Maybe, but probably not—it doesn't look easy to sustain quadratic or really steep linear growth due to the corners that keep popping up (and B6a kills the activity).


Also, here's a new record for fig index, 244.83:

Code: Select all

x = 26, y = 13, rule = B2-ae3-ik4ai5a6ai78/S2a3-j4a5aijn6-ik78

That's actually 244.823 (With F=291344568, I=26, G=45770, I might have missed a better pop.)

So... no higher FI score than mine?

More precise numbers: I=MCPS=5, F=126332900 (+-400, oscillating), G=526980 (+-10, really hard to tell), F/I =~ 25266580, F/(I*G) =~ 47.9

The post above you literally describes a figseed that is superior to yours in respect of F and FIG.

Yes, but not by FI. Yours has FI of 11.2 million, over 2 times less than mine. I'm not going for FIG record, even the previous one (135.8 ) was much bigger than FIG of my pattern.

Woah.
What's the Fig Index for this guy?

I haven't ran it to completion, but the approximate results are:

Initial pop: 646
Final pop: 450 000 000 000
FI: 700 000 000
Lifespan: 68 000 000

As i wrote in first post,
FI score ~= 25 million, much bigger than anything mentioned above (except the engineered enormous calcyman's one).
I KNOW that calcyman's pattern has bigger FI than mine, but it is engineered, and mine is natural.

The first engine gets destroyed at similar time as the right puffer. Total population after its destruction is 3.1382e+23, so one engine added 4.198e+22. Next engines will add more (the most will be added by switch engine created when bottom puffer is destroyed, and this engine is also the longest-living one, destroyed at around 1.16e+24). I'm too lazy to calculate everything, so I'm going to say that average population added by 1 engine is about 7e+22 (if someone can do the calculation, it would be amazing). One engine is created every 70 cells, and total distance covered by right puffer is about 1.8889e+23, so there will be approximately 2.699e+21 switch engines, and total population will be around 2e+44, so FIG index would be somewhere around 1.2e+17.

The problem is that glider guns won't stabilize in this time. A single glider is still bouncing back and forth from guns to cordership, and producing new gliders, that are messing with debris below guns. I don't think that this can be changed by the breeder. Stabilization time of the glider guns is probably about 8e+40; gliders finally are breaking through the debris and flying past it. But new gliders are still appearing, and population beyond this point grows to infinity... what was supposed to be not allowed.

Can somebody prove me wrong?

This soup from a rule I posted in the interesting dynamics thread has a fig of about 503 thousand (502,864) and an FI of 665 trillion (initial population 44, final population 29.26 quadrillion, time to stabilization about 1.3 billion):

There are almost certainly many with much higher, but Hashlife was unable to run most of them to completion.

I'm almost certain that the debris would produce backward gliders and destroy the gun.

Actually, on the order of 10^41 generations, the caber tosser breaks through the remnants of the wave that blocked its path and grows infinitely. Luckily, adding a single boat destroys the caber tosser before the switch engines stop:

Code: Select all

#C [[ X 120 Y 20 Z 2 LABELSIZE 20 LABELALPHA .5 ]]
#C [[ LABEL 300 190 2 "Safety boat" ]]
x = 369, y = 464, rule = B3/S23
