See, you can do this in pass the rule... ...now if someone here decided to add B1c...

B1c would create a total mess. We'd have to stabilize the rule in the day or checkerboard agar.

Or, we could restart, like unname4798 did, but that wouldn't be counting to 50, it would be counting to 26.

Would adding transitions to something like S2-n count?

I don't think it would count, because it would be removing a survival condition, not adding one.

EDIT: I just had an idea: what if we got pass the rule to be an alternating checkerboard rule?

EDIT: I just had an idea: what if we got pass the rule to be an alternating checkerboard rule?

Would it be possible to modify it into one with all the transitions we currently have?

27. Adding S6a, which magically makes the rule less explosive:

Thought: What if we were to count all the way to 102? A buildup from nothingness to everything.

[R2INT]

Thought: What if we were to count all the way to 102? A buildup from nothingness to everything.

That would be a potentially interesting idea. We would have to travel through explosive rules for a while before settling on the day rules, which operate on the all-live background. Then, it would become the equivalent of removing transitions instead of adding them, until we reach 102 where everything comes alive.

There is also the possibility, if you are careful enough, to travel to the day rules without going through unstable explosions, by the means of self-complementary rules.

In the current state of the rule, it looks like our best bet to get to stability quickly is to add the high survivals (5, 6, 7, 8, leaving D5ai and/or D6ce to preserve inverse expansiveness), and the high births to allow patterns to converge on the day agar.
