Traffic Flow(2e3aciy4jnw68/S23678) - Turing complete and Geminoidable

[BokaBB]

Here are 2 reactions:

Code: Select all

Hey ya. I'm sorry for being away for long, but I had problems.
Many CGOL still lifes can be induction coils. For example here's a stabilised canoe:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 8, rule = B2e3aciy4jnw68/S23678

Will probably not do much regarding finding patterns until tomorrow.

After a bit of experimentation, single channel things are probably infeasible in Traffic Flow, so it's probably not "Orthogonoidable" - at least not in the traditional sense.
Now, Traffic Flow is probably Geminoid-able. The below is (in addition to being the single worst thing I've ever created) a construction arm using three instruction tapes, with a maximum repeat time of around 3000. It uses a 2-cell pull (2 gliders), a 1-cell push (9 gliders), and a 3-glider fire operation. While this does (if slow salvos are as versatile as they seem in Traffic Flow, which I suspect they are) prove the existence of a period-(insert number above 10^9) Geminoid, I'm certainly won't try any time soon to create it!

For this: PULL has repeat time 116, FIRE has repeat time 344, and PUSH has repeat time 1980.

It should be noted that this is extremely unoptimized, and that its repeat time, size and population may be reducible by a significant amount - anyone want to try that?

[BokaBB]

Hey ya. I apologize for this long absence.
Nice arm. I know essentially nothing about making such devices, but I'll try to make contributions today.

[BokaBB]

Oops, either forgot, didn't have time or both.

single channel things are impossible

I disagree. A quick search found this, which turns a block into a googolplex's constellation.

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 30, rule = B2e3aciy4jnw68/S23678
5$5bobo$5b3o6$5bobo$5b3o6$5bobo$5b3o6$7b2o$7b2o!

[BokaBB]

this is pretty interesting, though not a splitter

Code: Select all

x = 26, y = 9, rule = B2e3aciy4jnw68/S23678
22b2o$22b2o2$21b2ob2o$21b2ob2o$2o$bo$2o17b3o$19bobo!

It pulls 3 blocks 1 cell diagonally while outputting Us.

And to remind you, this is its power.

[Chai]

To remind you - the salvo you posted would require a splitter with repeat time 14, which would be downright miraculous for Traffic Flow (the lowest repeat time thing that could be considered a splitter has repeat time 67). In criticizing Traffic Flow's single-channel viability, I was factoring in how any viability it might have is nullified (at current) by the lack of a low repeat time splitter.

[BokaBB]

Wouldn't it also be allowed by an appropriate-period gun?

[Chai]

A constructor (similar to that present in the 0hd demonoid?) which takes 2 glider streams with minimum spacing 132 and produces single channel glider pairs with a minimum spacing of 10 generations. I have no idea whether this can produce arbitrary slow salvos or not, as I've done no experimentation with this.

which would be used on each side. For e.g. a triple channel construction arm we would have one side use the first three and the other side use the last three, and then we just place some reflectors to place them on well-chosen lanes. I would guess around 5 well-chosen channels is enough for universal construction. For the pattern I shown the geometry works out nicely so that we can hit the construction zone with slow gliders.

It's 400x500, with 468 blocks. The repeat times are:
2000 for PUSH
250 for PULL
570 for FIRE

And because I have block recipes suitable to build it, we're fairly close to a self-constructing object now.

For managing the instruction tapes, we would still need something like the contraption I posted. As 7 lanes are proven universal, the corresponding my contraption for 7 lanes would be 12*14+7=175 blocks per side, plus 7 reflectors to get them to the right channel totalling 196 blocks. For the alternative design we would need 12*6+3=75 blocks for my contraption plus 468 blocks for the construction arm totalling 543 blocks. Using blocks as a measure of construction difficulty, the complex design has 2.77 times as many blocks. Given the encoding it seems like it could be worth it doing a complex design, but if we find a better set of restricted-channel operations it could change. But for getting a simple one working it would be easier to build the no-decoder design.
