I found this reaction by accident:
Code: Select all
x = 9, y = 10, rule = B3/S23

A loaf is flipped when hit by a LoM, but instead of the usual block corner interaction, the loaf flips because of an eater-type interaction and the dot at just the right timings. It can't be flipped back using the catalyst from eater 3. However, it is possible to flip it back before it recovers:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 7, rule = B3/S23

Is this known, and has anything been made out of this?
It features in this version of the (12,4)c/62 climber

N004: glider frontrake, works from B3/S23 to B3/S234c6i8.

EDIT: 2 loaves turns the LOM into loaves itself

The singular reaction is equivalent to putting a drifty Eater 3 (note this explodes due to a corner dot at gen 32, a different variant eater/variant suppression is also needed)
Code:
Select all
x = 13, y = 13, rule = B3/S23

EDIT 3: With this eater 1 placement, we get an incomplete version of the p124 (AKA (12,4)c/62 engine) LOM reaction - not sure how to stabilize it but probably wouldn't be minimal
Code:
Select all
x = 15, y = 17, rule = B3/S23

EDIT 4: A very weird way in which that loaf actually appears in the right spot
Code:

Currently working to improve Life's guns and work on updating SKOPs and Isotropic rules most similar to B3/S23 to Life standards. Will get software to begin searches eventually.
