Re: Wormholes and Tachyons

I've since condensed all the info (except the Star Destroyer, which is too large) into the first post. I am unable to delete the rest unfortunately.
The ruleset has since been added to LifeWiki's Repository by user sitelen.

Re: Wormholes and Tachyons

Probably the last post for a while on this thread, but more tachyowickstretchers have been found from soup. Two of them are shown here, along with 2 of the aforementioned tachyons.

Re: Wormholes and Tachyons

Another infinite tachyopuffer found from soup. This one grows at 2c at the front, and 1c in all other directions.

Re: Wormholes and Tachyons

An infinitely growing tachyopuffer, from sog. I think it kind of looks like a Star Destroyer from Star Wars.

Wormholes and Tachyons

I was talking about this in the Discord earlier today, but I'm trying to make a pseudo-Life-like automaton that allows for the existence of tachyons and FTL travel. I managed to do this by introducing a third state into the system: the wormhole.
The following is true of wormholes:
1. Wormholes are ...
