It's not actually an LWSS track, but it was from Sokwe's jslife update

Can a moving LWSS track be made with Corderships?

Can a moving LWSS track be made with Corderships?

Well, an LWSS moves at c/2 orthogonal, so if you're going to keep putting LWSSes in front of each other, then your mechanism needs to move at faster than c/2 orthogonal, which isn't possible through a vacuum.

That is not a problem if some of the Corderships are in front of and to the side of other Corderships and the LWSSes also spend some of the time going backwards.

I don't know if there's any known direct reaction to bounce them back forwards.

I got bored and decided to mess around with Bs. This caught my eye when it produced (amid a lot of mess) a long² boat and sparked a long boat into a long ship and pushed it over to a mango:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 32, rule = B3/S23
2obo$b3o$2bo2$2o$2o12$3b2o$3b2o12$2o$2o!

This lends itself to a reasonably edgy (and somewhat uncleanable) long² boat seed:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 16, rule = B3/S23

This lends itself to a reasonably edgy (and somewhat uncleanable) long² boat seed:

Is there a one-glider seed for that arrangement of a pi and block?

I think that's Bill Gosper's 'five and dime' reaction from aeons ago. It tends to get rediscovered every so often, as evidenced by this recent (2009) discussion of the reaction:

I showed two young brothers Golly and the p30 gun, and they went to town
crossing beams and quickly found the "Five and Dime" p150 and 300 pulse
divider, etc. But I'm not sure they noticed the configuration where the
7th glider makes a MWSS and the 8th glider kills it. (Blame speed if
they didn't.) So, long before the 3-glider *WSS syntheses, we got a
MWSS gun by killing that 8th glider. And the 9th and 10th, since the
only p240 would have been tripled period doublers. But I'd forgotten
that you also need some some sort of cleanup at the collision point. It
may have been as gross as another p300. Just now, I tried a couple of
eaters, which hurried the MWSS birth from the 7th glider to the 5th,
enabling p180 MWs. But unused gliders kill one of the eaters,
necessitating another gun:

Does anyone remember how the p300 worked? Gardner mentioned it in his
column but it must have been too clunky to illustrate. Especially since
his editors were pressuring him to drop Life because it was only interesting
to the computered elite.

Coincidently, I rediscovered how to create a p150 & p300 stream from a pair of
p30 guns quite recently, while playing with the glider collisions that create
blocks. I noticed that a temporary blinker produced in the reaction can be used
to switch the p300 stream off & on.

It doesn't appear to be on the LifeWiki for some reason. Perhaps the GGG article should be expanded to include mention of these reactions, since they're of historical interest and are useful for creating compact period-30n glider guns for various values of n.
