It makes me reconsider: maybe some of the objects (e.g. Herschel, Century, etc.) are better labeled as "active regions", rather than "methuselahs".

The post I was referring to had 29 cells in its initial state and a minimum of 25 in generation 1. The minimal predecessors of herschel and century have 6 cells.

This has fewer cells.

If you want an even smaller example, there's a well-known nonomino with an 8-cell parent:

The Herschel can't peek too far to the right because then dr thinks the perturbation is too large and backtracks, so I have to run multiple searches :(

The second catalyst is already known (but your version has a larger stator). The catalysis that it performs is equivalent to a standard block catalysis, so that fact is typically useless (although it's used in RF28Bi where a block would work initially but then get hit by a spark a few generations later), but it can perform other catalyses. (The examples are modified versions of the relevant examples from Entity Valkyrie's fishhook replacement guide.)

x = 38, y = 13, rule = B3/S23

Correct. It recovers a bit differently. Still, I think that more people should run dr on Herschels and other active regions.

The first catalysis makes one of the regions used in the add Silver's p5 component.

The first one seems familiar for some reason. The second one is an unusual ship+eater variant.
