Is a pipsquirter spark from a 2c/5 orthogonal spaceship useful?

x = 15, y = 55, rule = B3/S23

The solution is in no way optimzed, but it shows quite well how the branching approach works.
The twenty outermost columns on each side are unecessary.

As I wrote, it wasn’t optimized… Minor remark: As shown, gen 4 for is different from gen 0, so gen 4 actually is the reduced spaceship.

This is a new orthogonal c/5 ship i discovered by continuing the earlier qfind -w13 gutter search. I found an idle memory node and figured i might do another 24 hour run. It popped up one hour after the start of the batch run, along with more copies of Kermit.

Code: Select all

x = 25, y = 9, rule = B3/S23

The ship is tied with spider in terms of fewest amount of alive cells (58), but has a bigger bounding box. It is also non-monotonic.

Proposed name: Tarantula

Edit: The ship can support an 8-cell period-10 tagalong, found on Oct. 6, 2015 by Bullet51 (Edit by Sokwe: as Bullet51 noted, this is now the smallest known 2c/10 spaceship):

Attached is a constant-population p5 orthogonal c/5 convoy, with 1316294 alive cells in every phase, consisting of 16717 spiders and 2981 tarantulas. All tarantulas are in the same phase:

Of course, it's possible to make a much smaller constant-population convoy by putting one copy of every phase, but that feels less interesting:

Hi all,

I was thinking about getting my spaceship search programs (knight*) up and running again, so I was checking out the general state of affairs in spaceship searches. I was checking out the "Spaceship Search Status Page" and I noticed there was a discussion about a year ago about whether there were height 10 2c/5 spaceships.

I was looking through my files and it turns out that back in 2017 I ran 2c/5 searches at heights of 47 and 48 phases (my program measures height in phases, so 47 would be 2 phases 10 high and 3 phases 9 high) and I got output ships.

The 47 height search gave:

This is actually a surprisingly common odd-symmetric c/5 orthogonal back end. It was first found by Tim Coe on May 2, 1997, with a much smaller support found by Jason Summers on December 12, 2000 (see #3 and #10 in velocity-c5o/ships-c5o-1.rle in the moving objects collection).
moebius wrote: January 16th, 2025, 10:59 am I was checking out the "Spaceship Search Status Page" and I noticed there was a discussion about a year ago about whether there were height 10 2c/5 spaceships.

I was looking through my files and it turns out that back in 2017 I ran 2c/5 searches at heights of 47 and 48 phases (my program measures height in phases, so 47 would be 2 phases 10 high and 3 phases 9 high) and I got output ships....
It's interesting to me how several of these ships involve the same edge component reaching the same central repeating component via three different connecting components:

There are of course several ways to measure spaceship height. Your method seems like it may (or may not?) be slightly different than Keith's moving box method, which is of course different from the all-phases definition. I'm especially curious to know if anyone can confirm my old result that there are no period-5 2c/5 ships that fit in the same height-10 bounding box through its entire period.

Tim, were these searches done with knightt? Are they complete in the sense that all 2c/5 ships of "height 47/48" can be constructed from the ships in the above collections? If so, do you think a similar "height 50" search could be completed? I would assume "height 50" means "(up to) height 10 in each phase". Is this correct?

Where did that forward-domino-sparking c/5 orthogonal spaceship come from? I don't remember it off-hand, and it doesn't appear to be in the moving objects collection or any post in this thread containing the word "domino". Note that the central component is unnecessary, and it can be made to have only one forward domino spark.

By the way, this particular puffer mechanism is the same as the one found in jslife-moving/velocity-c5o/rake-c5o-p360.rle. Many other c/5 orthogonal rakes can be found in Paul Tooke's c/5 rakes collection.

Also, I moved your post to the spaceship discussion thread.

Hi Matthias,

You wrote:
There are of course several ways to measure spaceship height. Your method seems like it may (or may not?) be slightly different than Keith's moving box method, which is of course different from the all-phases definition. I'm especially curious to know if anyone can confirm my old result that there are no period-5 2c/5 ships that fit in the same height-10 bounding box through its entire period.

Tim, were these searches done with knightt? Are they complete in the sense that all 2c/5 ships of "height 47/48" can be constructed from the ships in the above collections? If so, do you think a similar "height 50" search could be completed? I would assume "height 50" means "(up to) height 10 in each phase". Is this correct?
I do max height searches using "knighty", a modified version of "knightt" that puts all phases of a column of cells of a spaceship in a single 64 bit integer. It does fairly reliably find all (in the constructible from sense) spaceships up to the specified height. There is a natural way to order the phases when the movement amount is relatively prime to the period. This leads directly to a conception of height that is probably identical to Keith's moving windows idea.

For example for a height 47 2c/5 spaceship the heights of the phase of the spaceships must fit within the following envelope with phase 0 being what I consider the most advanced phase (also phase 5 is included for illustration and is a 2 cell advanced version of phase 0):

Code: Select all

01234 5
      x
   xx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxx   
x      
Envelope for a height 48 2c/5 spaceship:

Code: Select all

01234 5
      x
   xx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxx   
xx     
Envelope for a height 49 2c/5 spaceship:

Code: Select all

01234 5
      x
   xx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx  
xx     
Envelope for a height 50 2c/5 spaceship:

Code: Select all

01234 5
      x
   xx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx x
xxxxx  
xxx    
So for a height 50 spaceship all phases can be height 10, but they have to move in the specified envelope. So running such a search would not exclude certain pathological examples of ways to fit within a single height 10 unmoving envelope.

Have a happy day,

Tim Coe

Edit:

The following might come to mind:

Question: What happens when the movement is not relatively prime to the period?

Answer: knighty doesn't work

This is a record-keeping post for when I update the moving objects collection.

The OWSS collection within the moving objects collection is missing the following 5 ships:

Here are (I think) all of the OWSSs supported by exactly two standard spaceships up to 34 bits (grouped by OWSS length):

here are the total counts for different lengths of OWSSs escorted by exactly two standard spaceships:
  • Length 7: 20 * (1+19/2) = 210
  • Length 8: 19 * (1+18/2) = 190
  • Length 9: 17 * (1+16/2) = 153
  • Length 10: 16 * (1+15/2) = 136
  • Length 11: 11 * (1+10/2) = 66
  • Length 12: 6 * (1+5/2) = 21
  • Length 13: 2 * (1+1/2) = 3
  • Length 14: 1 * (1+0/2) = 1
  • All lengths: 780
Edit: Mark Niemiec's Life page indicates that there are three glide-symmetric LWSS-supported 9WSSs, but after trying seemingly all positions and phase combinations, I could only find these two:

Code: Select all

x = 43, y = 10, rule = B3/S23

I had never run any version of LLSSS min pop stuff for 2c/4 since it was never going to terminate past pop 17, but I realized it doesn't have to be terminate to be useful. Maybe.

I ran e.g. pop 32 (inspired by a news item mentioning something about "the only known pop 32 ship") to 60 GB and sorted through the results.

The worst of the two limiting generations completed w_pos 47 which could find a pattern of height 39W or 19.5 Y rows (staggered envelope). Ultimately my best efforts to strip down and remove disconnected stuff ends with these 201 results (I now realize some of these are duplicates in different generations for complicated reasons):

Code: Select all

#C [[ TRACK 0 -1/2 ]]
x = 19, y = 3621, rule = B3/S23

Unfortunately the only computer-adjudicable (by me) definition of connectedness is probably too lax, counting e.g. LWSS-on-LWSS as connected due to the overpopulation birth suppression they are connected(ish) by. As a result these results are drowning in various nominally connected *WSS flotillae. I skimmed them anyway by eye, but it's very hard to make sense of quickly. I see a lot of things that are known but e.g. this pop 32 weirdo I could not find in jslife-moving:

Code: Select all

#C [[ TRACK 0 -1/2 ]]
x = 12, y = 12, rule = B3/S23

Unfortunately I'm sort of out of ideas about how to make anything more useful of this.

EDIT: The news item was "This leaves LWSS pulling Unnamed tagalong 23P4H2V0 as the only currently known spaceship up to 32 cells without a known glider synthesis." and I notice that this pop 32 ship doesn't (yet) have a synthesis on catalogue which seems to contradict that so maybe it is new?

It can be viewed as the shortest member of a family, analogously to the LWSS, MWSS, and HWSS.

Hey all, is there a suitable sparking ship or puffer that this could be made into a glide-symmetric spaceship with speed 2c/5 and reduced speed 8c/20?

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 8, rule = B3/S23

Oh, and by the way, 66P10H4V0 doesn't work, even without the bulky 44P5H2V0 over it.

EDIT: gliders work, though they leave easily-deletable blocks.

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 8, rule = B3/S23

Helloshe, I like pentadecathlons and small-period motifs.
I may not be very skilled in search programs, but I have many ideas.

It looks potentially possible, although I think it would need a custom p5 2c/5 ship to get it to work. LLSSS might be well-suited for this, but I'm not skilled enough at setting up such a search. Maybe Amling could give some pointers.

Also, the left-hand spark is one cell too far away. It should instead look like this:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 9, rule = B3/S23

I am skeptical of this being possible. It's a rather demanding "spark" to begin with and then it has to survive both of those interactions, especially the crazy one on the left side there where the spark would-be predecessor is already touching.

You can try to search at 8c/20 with a perturbation-finding style constraint, something like:

There are a lot of knobs to fiddle in terms of where there are 4's or W's, how many mid_steps, do you try to include some sort of PD steps in closures, etc. I played with it for maybe 45m here and couldn't produce a search anything even resembling viable but my pessimism about the possibility is probably not helping me do my best work.
