Re: Lightcone

There's a big list in examples/herschel.toml. If you add your own you can skip the "summary" and "soup" parameters, they're just for documentation.

Re: 23-bit still life syntheses

I wrote a little on my contributions to the project: https://mvr.github.io/posts/xs23.html


That makes it a bit difficult to use in any circumstance in which lifelib cannot be used.


It's possible though, I implemented a LifeAPI parser for SJK lines here: https://github.com/mvr/LifeAPI/blob ...

mvr, did this component complete the synthesis of xs23_0ck0fpzc9701226 ? It is still shown as unsolved in Catagolue.


True! Going back, I made a mistake: there was a second broken step in that recipe.
