Crossposting a Thessalonic engineered p5000 (loaf+pre-HF collision) hassler oscillator with questionable notability, intended as an illustration of several related ideas.

Note the late interaction between the evolving pre-honeyfarm and anything else.

Here is a period-5000 hassler oscillator, very small and Thessalonic. It might be interesting to make it even smaller (while keeping it Thessalonic. Not counting the hassled reaction, only blocks and eater 1s are allowed) and to let the lightweight spaceship escape.

Looks like I forgot to mention it explicitly that it must hassle the same collision (the p256 glider gun doesn't):

[...] As a Thessalonic engineered hassler oscillator, it hassles the following collision between a loaf and a honeyfarm predecessor. Neither loaf nor honeyfarm is Thessalonic. The oscillator contains a phase where the hassled reaction exactly matches the shown configuration, and everything else is blocks and eater 1s:

If I had a nickel for each reduction made to a pattern that was 7+ years old today, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Apparently, a reduction to this P10 was hiding in EV2's oscillator stamp collection in plain sight.

Crediting is...kind of weird for this; I was the one who realized that the base had known period-multiplying stuff; EV2 put together the reduced P10.

The second one is a 35-cell strong corner dot sparker, which is even smaller than the 42-cell toaster and 41-cell "P5 unix" toaster, so I'm confident that it will lead to some reductions.

Technically, that there dot spark-accepting catalyst has been here this whole time, but only now have we realized that it can be used in this way. Funny, isn't it?

edit: see the next post by hotdogPi.

The p7 hassler actually hassles a longbarge (rather than "unix" as claimed), and likewise the p14 hassler actually hassles a loaf (rather than "baker's dozen" <strike>as claimed</strike>). It should be possible to remove the "hassled evolutionary sequence" without causing any changes in the evolutionary sequences of supporting objects that would be deemed significant (in particular the supports shouldn't self-destruct if the hassled sequence is removed), while the "hassled evolutionary sequence" should be significantly affected by the presence of supporting objects.
