Could this be merged with Thread For Your Unrecognized CA?
Do not make a new thread each time you found a new rule. Post in other threads instead.
Agree. There is no visible evidence of B2in3aeiny5aek6cn7e/S1e2-ck3-jnqr4ez5i7e either being notable enough for a separate thread, or needing any name at all. Just the rulestring suffices to refer to it, and posting in an existing thread like TFYUCA or MDiOCA works.

Blocks and dominos are common still-lifes.
T-tetromino is a common puffer.
A 5-generation predecessor of traffic light(I call it "ring") is a p2 oscillator.
A (likely) replicator:
Code:
Select all
x = 10, y = 10, rule = B2in3aeiny5aek6cn7e/S1e2-ck3-jnqr4ez5i7e
7bo$6b3o$5b2ob2o$6b3o$7bo$2bo$b3o$2ob2o$b3o$2bo!
Creating a whole new thread for every minor topic doesn't work. That clutters the forums (and it also means that in future, the people here will be less likely to expect interesting posts from you).
Please don't make a new thread unless you have good evidence (to show/mention in the first post) that the topic of the thread exists, is well-defined, is on-topic on these forums, and is of interest to several people other than yourself.
There are lots of other cellular automata where blocks and/or dominoes are still-life objects. There are also many other CA with common puffers, there are very many known replicators, and oscillators are everywhere. Neither of that justifies a separate thread for a single CA.
Crossposting my reply from another thread which is problematic for the same reasons, and also should be merged into an existing thread:

Bilingual:
I made this randomly, and made an infinity growth.
Which means it isn't really anywhere near being notable enough for a separate thread, and it doesn't really need any name. There are way too many CA of the same type to investigate each of them in depth. I think the thread should be merged into

Unlikely events happen.
My silence does not imply agreement, nor indifference. If I disagreed with something in the past, then please do not construe my silence as something that could change that.
