States 2-5 never change. States 6-7 always toggle. States 6 and 7 are actually an extension that allow a very strong P4 sparker.


States 0 to 5 of StateInvestigator 100% overlaps with LifeExtendedFancy. Despite that, StateInvestigator was made totally independent of LifeExtendedFancy when EV2 was searching a rule with multiple states that could allow stable bumpers, bouncers and small and fast syringes. It originally only had three states, but it was extended to six, and then extended to eight.
States 2-5, 8-9, and 14-16 never change. States 6-7, 10-11 and 12-13 always toggle.


=Some sample objects=
All states with # are also present in ExtendedLifeFancy.


Please save the .rule file above, and then copy down the pattern. See [[User:Entity Valkyrie 2/StateInvestigator P53 emu gun (one loop only)|this page]] for the P53 emu gun with one herschel loop based on old conduits, and see [[User:Entity Valkyrie 2/StateInvestigator 20 conduits|this page]] for the 16 original Herschel conduits, F171, Lx65, R49 and Bx106.
This rule is really similar to ExtendedLifeFancy. Despite that, StateInvestigator was made totally independent of LifeExtendedFancy when EV2 was searching a rule with multiple states that could allow stable bumpers, bouncers and small and fast syringes.

States 0 to 5 also exist in ExtendedLifeFancy. The only difference are the colors and the fact that states 2 and 4 in StateInvestigator become states 8 and 6 (respectively) in ExtendedLifeFancy. States 6 and 7 can't be converted to ExtendedLifeFancy. Despite the similarity, StateInvestigator was made ''completely independent'' of ExtendedLifeFancy.

Explanation of the rule

  • State 0: off cell (evolves like CGoL) #
  • State 1: on cell (evolves like CGoL) #
  • State 2: killer on cell (kills any adjacent cell, treated as on considering births of cells) #
  • State 3: killer off cell (kills any adjacent cell, treated as off considering births of cells) #
  • State 4: eternal on cell #
  • State 5: eternal off cell #
  • State 6: P2 killer on cell (changes into state 7 in next generation)
  • State 7: P2 killer off cell (changes into state 6 in next generation)
  • State 8: egg on cell (gives birth to all neighboring cells unless already on, treated as on considering survival of cells) #
  • State 9: egg off cell (gives birth to all neighboring cells unless already on, treated as off considering survival of cells) #
  • State 10: P2 on cell (changes into state 11 in next generation, not killer, not egg)
  • State 11: P2 off cell (changes into state 10 in next generation, not killer, not egg)
  • State 12: P2 egg on cell (changes into state 13)
  • State 13: P2 egg off cell (changes into state 12)
  • State 14: Inverter (inverts all neighboring cells) #
  • State 15: Catalyst (like state 4, but it requires State 1 cells to give birth)
  • State 16: Catalyst killer (like state 2, but it requires State 1 cells to give birth)


States 2-5, 8-9, and 14-16 never change. States 6-7, 10-11 and 12-13 always toggle.

All states with # are also present in ExtendedLifeFancy.

This rule is really similar to ExtendedLifeFancy. Despite that, StateInvestigator was made totally independent of LifeExtendedFancy when EV2 was searching a rule with multiple states that could allow stable bumpers, bouncers and small and fast syringes.

Versions:

  • 2018 Beta (4 states)
  • 2019 1.0 (6 states)
  • 2019 1.1 (8 states)
  • 2020 2.0 (14 states)
  • 2020 2.1 (17 states)

All patterns made in ExtendedLife or ExtendedLifeFancy that are converted into StateInvestigator are called "Prehistoric".

All patterns made in LifeHistory that are converted into StateInvestigator are called "Historic".

StateInvestigator-ExtendedLifeFancy conversion (section outdated)

States 0 to 5 also exist in ExtendedLifeFancy. The only difference are the colors and the fact that states 2 and 4 in StateInvestigator become states 8 and 6 (respectively) in ExtendedLifeFancy. States 6 and 7 can't be converted to ExtendedLifeFancy. Despite the similarity, StateInvestigator was made completely independent of ExtendedLifeFancy.

Scripts (lua, based on invert.lua, only supports states 0 to 5 in StateInvestigator): 

-- StateInvestigator to ExtendedLifeFancy

local gp = require "gplus"
-- re-assigning inner loop functions results in a 10% speed up
local setcell = g.setcell
local getcell = g.getcell

if r.empty then g.exit("There is no selection.") end
-- local t1 = os.clock() 
local oldsecs = os.clock()
for row = r.top, r.bottom do
    -- if large selection then give some indication of progress
    local newsecs = os.clock()
    if newsecs - oldsecs >= 1.0 then
        oldsecs = newsecs
        g.update()
    end
