Just a 128x128 demo pattern for StateInvestigator:

Code: Select all

x = 128, y = 128, rule = StateInvestigator

Maybe you could describe "interesting" things that can be seen in the pattern?
It seems like every cellstate is used somewhere in the pattern. I can see a number of periodic components. The least common multiple of periods I found so far is 19668933364080 [update 1: 25785971640308880], so the overall period (if it's an oscillator) must be a multiple of that.

This pattern contains many things that are present in my StateInvestigator pattern collection:

• From top left: P14 gun, G to V-wire, V-wire to ABH wire 2, ABH wire 2 to glider, RT14 reflector, RT14 G-to-LWSS (branch point*), RT14 LWSS-to-G, ABH wire 1, 9-cell spark-to-glider, P1 bouncer, some period-multiplying mechanism, pre-B to glider, 2-cell G-to-HWSS
  • Branch point: RT14 LWSS heisenburp, P8 filter for 3/4 gliders, 2-cell glider reflector (P2), hotcrystal0 syringe (incl. a common BF20H), Fx77 (incl. the standard FNG eater; also releases an extra glider), L112 (incl. RT56 BFx59H, releasing two extra gliders), H-to-MWSS, 68P16 monomer acting as a filter, lightspeed diagonal signal, 9-cell spark-to-glider, P1 bumper, glider to c/7 wire, c/7 wire to glider
• From top right: P34 gun, Fx95 (incl. RT34 FNG eater), Fx59, Fx43, H-to-G, semi-V (period multiplier), G-to-LWSS, LWSS-to-G, three 2-cell reflectors, double-boat-bit
• The remaining spaces are filled with oscillators, including:
  • P3-7 LW, MW, and HW sparkers
  • P2-4 1-cell-thick fountains with increasing clearance
  • two P5, P6, two P7, P13, two P15, P22 sparkers from Symbiosis
  • 68P16, Cribbage, P21 HF hassler, Jason's P22, 120P34, Raucci's P38 monomers
  • Extended P4 T-nose and P14 TL hassler, demonstrating the catalyst cells
  • Miscellaneous: P14 (including states 12 and 13), P26 queen bee shuttle, P58 B shuttle, P142 shuttle (based on 2c/3 "pinkline fuse"), P252 (resembling a 1D CA), P67831 PRNG

The phrase 'to convert a glider into a signal' is a misnomer. (If there is some signal of interest that appears in the wire when the shown reaction completes, then the same signal existed earlier, only carried by the glider.)

In the posted reaction, a glider gets converted into a reaction that travels along a wire.
As a possible application, that reaction can be used to inject signals into the wire. A signal carried by a glider can be injected into the wire, and after that it is carried by the travelling reaction.
Alternatively, the same reaction can be used in a simple "physical" construction, without getting the concept of signals involved at all in the picture.

Sorry, I tend to use the term “signal” to refer only to wires and not signals in general.

[Entity Valkyrie 2]

I'm curious what is the reason for 'must' (rather than 'can') in captions "The FNG eater of the output Herschel must be removed if followed by a dependent conduit" in the first page. Keeping the FNG-eating SI cell does not seem to cause troubles in connections like this (L112 + F166), even though the cell becomes unnecessary:

This is really just an exception, not the rule — it happens that the usual RT 49 state 5 FNG eater doesn't cause any problems with dependent conduits that have the transparent block. Other FNG eaters are not compatible (most notably the RT 34 FNG eater at the bottom, since it is the smallest and has the lowest repeat time of the sub-49 RT FNG eaters):

And even the state 5 FNG eater isn't compatible with some dependent conduits that don't involve the transparent block, such as R49 and L122:
