It is wrong! It is a 6c/26 diagonal glider according to Oscar:

x = 35, y = 35, rule = B2c3aijn4k/S2-e34cnqrt

$2bo!


Supported by rules from B2c3aijn4k ...

Nice 26 period non-orthogonal non-diagonal glider

I can't think of any reason against that. Academic forums needs high-quality posts.

Oh absolutely, and I understand just that. By holding yourself back from making unnecessary posts, you better the forums and their knowledge. However, I think that OCA as a whole is a more relaxed forum in the ...

Those rivers are pseudorandom and will probably not stabilize even if you ran them until the heat death of the universe. There are just too many states to go through. I don't know what you mean by "immortal". They will eventually stabilize because there are a finite (though unthinkably large ...

"Currently too afraid to post any rules in important places in fear of "non-importance""
Shame about that - hope it's not that type of forum!

Ok. In the meantime I pasted the rules you cited into Golly so having fun with that

Thanks Schiaparelliorbust
I'm afraid my knowledge is fairly basic and (currently) restricted to numbers for B and S. Would like to find out more. Could you explain the nomenclature for B2ek3...etc.? Can these rivers be immortal? The one I'm studying is now over 2.5 billion generation old and does ...

I would be interested to know if anyone has seen this sort of behaviour before. I came across it recently while playing with different Born and Survive rules. The mobile links are constantly changing and moving but also incredibly long lasting - millions of generations and counting. They thrash ...
