What I meant was that you could move the siderakes closer or further apart and let them evolve until they reach the same phase as the rest of the spaceship, which is what I did for the above reduction.dvgrn wrote: February 2nd, 2026, 3:56 pmThere seem to be a lot of options to try. Maybe the biggest difficulty is that the "rewind until it works" method tends to get the rakes out of phase with each other, which is definitely not a good thing if minimizing the population is a primary goal.I6_I6 wrote: February 2nd, 2026, 2:50 pm Yes, I noticed that too -- you could remove quite a few rephasers at the cost of doubling the period. I wanted it to be true-period though.
I think a completion with little or no rephasers at all might be possible by rewinding the rakes until it works, but none of the positions I tried worked at true period.

Also, I think there might be a better spine for this. Although each section only has 5 Ts, they're very close to each other and require edgeshooting reactions.
