Anyway, I reduced the quadratic growth pattern to 9960 cells, and also reduced its bounding box:
x = 678, y = 3278, rule = B3/S23-a5

2. Have any tagalong searches been attempted? If not, what software would be best for that?

This post might be relevant:

An interesting rule.

We just need to find the stripe dual of this rule.

Well, figuring that out for strobing rules is HARD, so I added S8:

I found this phase shift oscillator while playing around with LLS. Can someone identify it for me? If you don't get it, this is obviously a joke. Of course I know exactly what I found, and I think you know too. x = 18, y = 19, rule = B3/S23-a5

I don't really like it that much, because it feels somewhat intrusive, but I'd have at least a few people agreeing to change it back before you actually go forward with it.


I vote we revert it. Maybe its recency bias, but it feels a bit off, and besides the normal arrow served us well.

What is the rule with the most conditions that is neither explosive or bounded that is known? (Excluding B0)


I was going to say B2ikn3-ai45678/S0123456789, but that would be bounded, wouldn't it?
