Fairly clean Spartan seed that produces a still life similar to the 31.4. The SL it produces is the same as the one produced by the core reaction in the synthesis of the 31.4 if the eater is absent, but there is not enough clearance to put an eater 1 in position.

There is a version of traffic stop that phase shifts its blinkers, but I unfortunately don't have access to my laptop at the moment, and it's a bain in the putt to set the oscillator up on my android phone since the android version of golly is a buggy mess...

Edit: Also, it might not work anyway, since i think the output gliders would crash into it

Odd traffic stop does exist, but the glider crashes into an eater if it is used here:

I do know of the odd traffic stop's existence, but the same reaction cannot be performed with it, since it uses a slightly different activation which is impossible to achieve in this situation, even if the glider does not collide with it. However, using a spark from a pipsquirter can phase shift the even traffic stop like so (at generation 76):

Code: Select all

x = 43, y = 27, rule = LifeHistory

This is the form it had when I first posted it. I suspect that the wiki uses the larger form because it's easier (I assume) to construct, so is more relevant for self-constructing circuitry. However, if that's the case, it should be mentioned within the article.
