What do the colors mean in your calendar at 1.1?
Why do the rules repeat between 0.0 and 0.2?

[tommyaweosme]

What do the colors mean in your calendar at 1.1?
Why do the rules repeat between 0.0 and 0.2?

yellow - past
green - present
blue - future
also, we needed to reiterate the rules.

[unname4798]

But what is white? 1, 2, 3 got marked with this color.
And why is 31 missing?

tommyaweosme’s harmonica guide
so you want to learn the harmonica? great!
there are 10 notes, and “blowing” into a note makes a different noise then “drawing” air from a note.
lets try our first song, mary had a little lamb!
5B 4D 4B 4D 5B 5B 5B 4D 4D 4D 5B 6B 6B
isnt that so cool?
it would be even cooler if you try it again but keep your lips in the duck face so that it is staying in one note, then you move the harmonica to play a new note.
i dont know much else but do random notes blowing or drawing and keep doing what sounds nice trust me youll get farther than you think.

the harmonica is way kewl

thread ideas:
- rule request request thread (you can ask people to give you a rule request)
- build the CA periodic table
- still life stackers
- request a rule to be "un-tamed"/"wilded"
- spaceships made of oscillators made of spaceships (SMO[OMOS]) (the terminonlogy will be covered in tommyaweosme's next post in their sandbox.)

you've heard of mice theory, but what about MO theory?
let us cover one thing: SMOOMOS
is this spaceships made of OMOS, or SMOO made of spaceships? the answer to this question is brackets.
SMO[OMOS] is the first option and [SMOO]MOS is the second option.
and of course multiple layers is allowed.
SMO[[SMOO]MO[SMO[OMOS]]]
this is a:

Code: Select all

SMO[[SMOO]MO[spaceships made of OMOS]]
SMO[SMOO made of [spaceships made of OMOS]]
spaceships made of [SMOO made of [spaceships made of OMOS]]
spaceships made of [[spaceships made of oscillators] made of [spaceships made of [oscillators made of spaceships]]]

and who could forget the GMO[SMOO] or the GMO[OMOS].

but what if we have a layer of arbitrary depth?
SMO[OMO[SMO[OMO...
this can be notationed as
(SMO[OMO[|a)
where a is the mumber that the sequence repeats.

[unname4798]

Extended notation:
Sp/S spaceship
Osc/O oscillator:
Oscrro/Oscr/Or RRO
Osc/O other
St still life
L linear growth:
Lp/P puffer
Lg/G gun
Lw/W wickstretcher
L other
Q quadratic growth:
Q(m/s)(m/s)(m/s)
Qsf/Qs spacefiller
Qsn/Qn space non-filler
Q other
R replicator:
Rl - linear (1,2,2,4,2,4,4,8...)
Rq - quadratic (1,4,4,16,4,16,16,64...)
Rlo - linear other
Rqo - quadratic other
Sub - below linear
Sup - after quadratic
C chaotic/other
Case-sensitive.


Combination: SMO[SS] -> SMO[S+S] -> SMO[2S]
Complication 1: SMO[[SS]MOS] -> SMO[[S+S]MOS] -> SMO[[2S]MOS]
Complication 2: SMO[SS[SMOS]] -> SMO[S+S+[SMOS]] -> SMO[[2S][SMOS]]
Complication 3: SMO[SOO[LMO[OOSS]]] -> SMO[S2O[LMO[2O2S]]]

CA is already a niche in niche - snip -

what classifies CA as a niche in a niche?

♡ it seems like it's its own niche
♡ an example of a niche in a niche would be, say, an esolanger interested in specifically befunge derivatives.
♡ i dont really know what's going on here to make CA seem like a niche in a niche

it would be nice if someone could explain this to me. thanks!

I guess CA can be considered a niche in automata theory?

What is the CA periodic table?

Technically there is already one for any number of states n and set of conditions of cardinality c: take the c-dimensional hypercube with side-length n. Done.

tommyaweosme, can you please use ASCII characters in your posts to make them more searchable? You don't have to replace your generated font; maybe you can use size 1 text to add in a few relevant keywords.
