LeapLife Glider Synthes^2

[galoomba]

Also, in case anyone is interested, I decided to examine the 12-bit still-lifes, and flesh out all the trivial holes with existing technology. This leaves 75 synthesized, 36 unsynthesized (and 10 that are valid in Life but not in LeapLife).

Could you post the actual syntheses?

In the meantime, here's Catagolue syntheses for 25 of the 75 synthesised ones, most of which should also be cheaper than incremental ones:

I concocted a Rube-Goldberg carrier to python converter; it's messy, but it works. I'm sure it can be improved.
(Shown here in its base form, plus a slightly less obtrusive form needed for python ties).
This solves 4 of the unsolved python-related still-lifes.
A new much cheaper long boat to python converter makes the last of these much cheaper.
This leaves 15 unsolved still-lifes.
There are also 4 unsolved 12-bit pseudo-still-lives, and 9 13-bit ones. All involve snakes and/or eaters, as there are currently no ways known to add either of these.

Where are you seeing Catalogue syntheses? If I look at the patterns, there is no synthesis section listed. If I look at the tabulations, I see "The specified tabulation does not appear to exist."

No way! Block 2 boat hassler?

The various glider stdin "symmetries". Some of them apparently weren't configured correctly, but most of them work.

[mniemiec]

I was able to make a boat-to-snake converter, which solves one 12-bit still-life, 8 12-13-bit pseudo-still-lifes, and several P2 pseudo-oscillators.
This leaves 14 unknown still-lifes up to 12 bits, and 3 unknown pseudo-still-lifes up to 13 bits.

While looking through Catalogue for something unrelated, I noticed that a butterfly temporarily acts as a dirty P28 (mod 14) shuttle, leaving behind some toxic junk; I'm not sure if anyone had ever noticed this before. There might be able to stabilize this with blocks or other still-lifes. I found a few positions where a single block takes a nice chunk out of the debris and survives for a while, but not enough to make a clean oscillator. It may be possible to successfully use another still life, or several still-lifes to do this. I also couldn't find a way for two butterflies to successfully rub against each other symmetrically, although there might be ways to do so asymmetrically in space and/or time.

It's easy to stabilize this with a P14 oscillator, but that seems a bit like cheating. Here are trans and cis versions (for 9 and 12 gliders respectively) for one such arrangement; there are likely many others:

Inspiration from another soup gives both cis tripole-tie-tripole and tripole-tie-bipole from 8 gliders. (The related cis bipole-tie-bipole would require a way to front-shoot a small V spark; there probably is one, but I don't know it).

Another soup provided a synthesis for trans bipole-tie-bipole.

Some new converters can convert bipoles and tripoles into smaller objects, allowing construction of all small bipole- and tripole-ties except 3: the one above, plus trans tripole-tie-tripole and tripole-tie-bipole.

Finally, a new boat-to-eater converter solves one of the remaining 12-bit still-lifes (eater tie boat).

EDIT: This simple converter converts a boat to a tail-first eater, allowing for pseudo-objects like this. (Unfortunately, it is too obtrusive to work with tied boats). What's surprising is that this converter also works in regular Life. (I'm not sure if it was known before; I didn't know it, and the best Life converter I had had to do this took four gliders.) Now all that remains is making a chin-first eater; I suspect that will be much harder than in Life.

The pseudo-still-life synthesis was found by the 4G python script (i don't remember where i got the LeapLife version from).
I thought i tried all of the 2G boat syntheses, but i guess i missed that one.

Nice! The best one I had was my 2020-07-11 9-glider reduction of lemon41625's synthesis from 20200605.

xp12_33y133zxhrhzooy1oo in 10G: ...

I had this same 10-glider synthesis from Catagolue listed. I'm not sure who originally found it.

xp14_uvpxpvuz374x473 in 4G: ...

Nice! I thought that I already had a 10-glider synthesis of this pair of 12p14s (from FWKnightship 20210409), but this one is different, with the two halves one space closer together. There is also a third with the two halves one further apart, for which I don't know any synthesis yet. Also, the medium one works if the two halves are skewed by 2 or 4 spaces, and the far one works if the two halves are skewed by 2, 3, or 7 spaces.

xs20_35ak8gzy0125ako (long^7 ship) in 6G: ...

This uses the same converter that used to make the long^3 ship - twice. I don't remember anyone thinking about doing this before.

EDIT: Soup-inspired syntheses for 3 of the remaining 6 dual P14s from 12, 15, and 11 respectively. The synthesis for #2 could be trivially adjusted for #3, but a subsequent incremental synthesis of that one was cheaper. (The remaining 3 unsolved ones are on the bottom row).
