I'm assuming you found this accidentally while scribbling, because the RLE looks like the ash of a hand-drawn line and straight lines in B368/S23 produce that exact blinker agar:

Code: Select all

x = 477, y = 1, rule = B368/S23
512o!

I'm not sure if this one is known or not, but it wouldn't surprise me considering it's simplicity.

It's known, being the mechanism used in Candelabra. The article doesn't specifically mention the wick, but I've seen it a few times before and I've even stumbled upon it myself before.

Also, does this rule have any relatively common active regions? I would really like to run HDP’s spark program on them.

Naiverules allow instantaneous signal transmission across any distance, so is it possible to golf a rule with instant circuitry which can perform arbitrary calculations in one generation?

EDIT:
Naive B1c/S can emulate W18 indefinitely instantly, although the first row can be a bit funky.
