Synthesising every natural still life

Attempting a bisection of the "Synthesizing every natural object" thread, mainly because the tide is turning (4395 October 1 -> 1982 October 5), the total number of still lifes increases seemingly by the day (the growth per day was around 10 near 29 Apr 2026), and we are underprepared to tackle the ...

Re: Synthesizing every natural object

Running transfer searches on the 504 unsynthesised 25-bitters has eliminated 471 of them... in other words, we have 33 remaining. Yippee!
Alas, this was on --maxdepth 64, which means that current known components bring us now to just behind the frontier of natural still lifes.

After tons of calculation, the speed of chaos in B34/S34 - namely, the speed of orthogonal fronts that emerge from natural chaos - is 0.193c

The lengths I had to go to were simply asinine.
By the way some of the ruletables might be incorrect, although this is because I generated them with a script.
