If I had a nickel for each reduction made to a pattern that was 7+ years old today, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Apparently, a reduction to this P10 was hiding in EV2's oscillator stamp collection in plain sight.

I discovered a quantum computer in CGoL!
I have worked out the necessary steps in order for anyone to construct one.

First step; start with an empty pattern: x = 0, y = 0, rule = B3/S23
!

Second step; wait until the empty pattern starts filling up with cells, via quantum fluctuation.

Third step ...

Here's a reduction of the p7 heavywweight emulator from 518 cells to 503 cells using the recent p7 2c/3 signal injector reduction to substitute for a larger 2c/3 signal injector:

I tried welding the injector closer to the rest of the assembly, believe me, but it just doesn't work.

Edit ...

maybe or maybe not useless, i "discovered" a p7 2c/3 signal injector from the p7 part of the large sparker that supports the p14 glider gun x = 19, y = 18, rule = B3/S23

The B-heptomino based dependent reflectors are nice, but I'm still very curious to see a method for sub-p17 independent reflection.
