Why is the asymmetrical variant of the P76 shuttle only in D2_+1?

[confocaloid]

Why is the asymmetrical variant of the P76 shuttle only in D2_+1?

Probably that is accidental, due to not having enough soups in C1 yet. I looked at the D2_+1 soup and at soups for variants of that p76 shuttle in C1, and did not see anything obvious.
Also, congratulations for triple post

Why is the asymmetrical variant of the P76 shuttle only in D2_+1?

Probably that is accidental, due to not having enough soups in C1 yet. I looked at the D2_+1 soup and at soups for variants of that p76 shuttle in C1, and did not see anything obvious.

Asymmetrical variant of the p76 shuttle appeared in C1:

I’m putting this request for Amling here because it’s not a CGoL request.

Can anyone try to find a P5 domino sparker in B34k/S23? Whether it’s a lone domino or heavyweight spark doesn’t matter; it just can’t be a delayed domino.

This rule has many CGoL speeds, and a few of its own. It has c/2 (LWSS), 4c/11 (3-engine swarm)(4K life), c/3 (Dart), c/4 (15P8H2V0)(4K life), c/5 (spider), c/4d (glider), and c/7d (tubber)(4K life).
A swarm is what I call any corderization of the 8c/22 puffer. I think it should be called this because the puffer is the queen bee in many of its generations, and a group of moving bees is called a swarm.
A slow orthogonal spaceship would be nice.

If we want to use the reaction @yyh_ballon discovered (proposed name: TL-bit), I am thinking we might want an effective way to read the bit. Here are 5 options that I found that require a single glider (and another set of gliders to rebuild):

1. If the bit is 'off' (the TL is intact), then the glider passes by, Otherwise, if the bit is on (there is a ship instead of a blinker), then the glider will cause the TL to turn into a block.

   Code: Select all

   x = 33, y = 15, rule = B34k/S23
   5bo22bo$5bo22bo$5bo22bo$2o$obo4b3o14b3o3b3o$b2o$5bo22bo$5bo22bo$5bo22b
   o4$4b2o21b2o$3b2o21b2o$5bo22bo!

2. Same as before, but instead of one block, it becomes two blocks.

   Code: Select all

   x = 32, y = 14, rule = B34k/S23
   4b3o20b3o2$2o6bo16bo5bo$obo5bo16bo5bo$b2o5bo16bo5bo2$4b3o20b3o5$4b2o21b
   2o$3b2o21b2o$5bo22bo!

3. If the bit is off, the constellation will evolve into two beehives and a boat. If the bit is on, then the constellation will evolve into a block and send a glider back.

   Code: Select all

   x = 45, y = 15, rule = B34k/S23
   5bo25bo$5bo25bo$5bo25bo$2o$obo4b3o17b3o3b3o$b2o$5bo25bo$5bo25bo$5bo25b
   o4$16b3o23b3o$16bo25bo$17bo25bo!

4. If the bit is off, the glider passes by, If the bit is on, the bit evolves into a boat and a blinker.

   Code: Select all

   x = 54, y = 15, rule = B34k/S23
   3bobo41bobo$3b2o42b2o$4bo43bo4$5bo43bo$5bo43bo$5bo43bo$2o$obo4b3o35b3o
   3b3o$b2o$5bo43bo$5bo43bo$5bo43bo!
   

5. If the bit is off, a blinker in the TL is changed into a block. If the bit is on, it becomes a block and a glider emitted at 90 degrees.

   Code: Select all

   x = 63, y = 17, rule = B34k/S23
   2bo43bo$obo41bobo$b2o42b2o6$14bo43bo$14bo43bo$14bo43bo$9b2o$9bobo4b3o
   35b3o3b3o$10b2o$14bo43bo$14bo43bo$14bo43bo!

Each of these reactions requires a rebuild recipe.

Personally, I think options 1 and 2 are the easiest to implement. What do you think?

EDIT:I found another 'read' reaction: if you add 2 blinkers in a certain orientation next to the TL-bit, then you can utilize the spark emitted during reset to cleanly emit a glider towards the source of the 'toggle' gliders.

This rule has many CGoL speeds, and a few of its own. It has c/2 (LWSS), 4c/11 (3-engine swarm)(4K life), c/3 (Dart), c/4 (15P8H2V0)(4K life), c/5 (spider), c/4d (glider), and c/7d (tubber)(4K life).
A swarm is what I call any corderization of the 8c/22 puffer. I think it should be called this because the puffer is the queen bee in many of its generations, and a group of moving bees is called a swarm.
A slow orthogonal spaceship would be nice.

I don't think so.

Also, could you update the thread title, since the current name of the thread doesn't suggest it's about B34k/S23 (honestly, the current title sounds like some weird non-vanilla or generations rule)
