INoMed noticed that this has a repeat time of 7, so Tables should be omniperiodic! Well done, I'll be updating the "Goals" section of the intro post shortly.

As a bonus, here's a p29 made by putting four signals in that p116 loop.

The puffer forms from a collision between an angel (which normally dies out in this rule) and a t-tetromino.

This could lead to a synthesis, which could in turn lead to a breeder.

In other news, I'm currently searching for a p8 dot sparker. If such a sparker is found, it could complete the p32, p40, and p64 partials. I'll edit this post to tell how that goes.

EDIT 1: I forgot to remove sub-periods. I will be trying the search again shortly.

EDIT 2: P8 search might take too long, so I'm trying a p5 search instead to get better at this.

EDIT 3: Very bad first angel synthesis (8G). Can definitely be made smaller.

Strangely enough, there's currently no way to synthesize the t-tetromino in the right orientation, so that's likely what I'm going to try to find next.

The introductory post for Tables has been updated for this week. Not really any big changes, but the addition of signal loops to the oscillator collection in their own section within it is worth noting.

Other changes:

• Updated text under the Oscillators section to reflect omniperiodicity.

• Added some text under the Linear Growth section with regards to the new p148 glider gun and guns based off of it.

• Slightly changed text under the Glider Synthesis section.

• The goal "prove Tables is omniperiodic" under the Goals section has been marked green with a timestamp of who completed it (LuveelVoom) and when it was completed (October 19th).

• A new goal "find a pattern that exhibits quadratic growth" has been added to the Goals section.

• Certain oscillators that were discovered previously but hadn't been noticed or added have now been added in green since they were already known.

• The p10, p24, p30, and p40 partials have been completed. Their completions are in the oscillator section of the collection. A new p25 partial has been added in their place (note, the dot sparks in the p25 partial are just placeholders for anything that can get rid of the blocks).

Credits:

• P1GG found all of the new p6s, the new p7s, the two of the new p9s, the small new p10, the new p11, the asymmetric new p12, the new p15 (based on a phase-shifting reaction also found by P1GG), the p30 partial completion, the p33, p35, and p44 LCMs, the p51 phase shifter, the catalyst that makes a spark from a grin, the p148 glider gun, and the 4c/8o rake.

• LuveelVoom found both of the signal loops (the 2c/3 wire-based one also proving omniperiodicity), three of the new p9s, and the new p13.

• NNlk05 found the D4_x4-symmetric p12, the new c/3o spaceship, a new p6 that I hadn't noticed previously and was thus added in green, and a new p8 that I also hadn't noticed previously and thus also added in green.

• Splitterrules found the 6c/12o puffer synthesis.

• EvinZL found the p3 sparker based off of the oscillator that resembles short keys, the new p4 dot sparker, the new t-nosed p4, the p10, p24, and p40 partial completions, the large new p12 (which also stabilizes the p12 wick), a new p24 different from the partial, and the p74 based off a partial I posted but didn't add to the collection, as well as finding a stator variant of a p3 sparker from Life that also works in Tables (in green).

• erRoR_606 found the new p5.

• Rabbit found the 8c/16o spaceship.

• I found the two other new p4s, the monomerization of the tip of one of the new p6s, the p46 phase shifter, the p57 and p69 LCMs, the p76 phase shifter, the p256 phase shifter, the 8c/16o rake, and the p148 and p888 c/2o guns.

If you feel like there are any improvements needed for the introductory post, please leave a suggestion. If you feel that you or something you found has been unduly left out of the credits here, just let me know.

I’m trying to find puffers with periods multiple of 11 to make a puffer for the crawler track, and then a gun to insert crawlers. This would make a quadratic growth.

Edit 5:

Actually, no, the math doesn’t math that way. You gotta account for the shifting/rephasing of the wire, it’s quite irritating. But if I’m doing the math correctly (at 11pm), it should be 28c/56, an achievable period!!! YAY!

Goals

• Find a gun (Completed Oct. 16, 2026 by PK22)

• Find a knightship (or some other oblique spaceship)

• Prove Tables is Turing-Complete

• Find a macroship

• Find a stable reflector

• Prove Tables is omniperiodic (Completed Oct. 19, 2026 by LuveelVoom)

• Find a pattern that exhibits quadratic growth

Credits

The remaining goals:

• Knightship: Just dump a thousand gigabytes of RAM into LLSSS, or a thousand CPU hours into ikpx2. (No (2,1)c/6 up to mid-steps 13 in LLSSS, by the way.) I suppose it would be more interesting if a crawler was found.

• Turing-completeness: I'm not a turing-completeness guy so I really don't know how to go about this. Other people here know how to construct W110 metacells, though; I'm sure they'll pull it off.

• Macroship: This is a fun one, the pi crawler looks very viable and I feel like it's absolutely possible with enough effort since we have clean rakes on pi tracks now.

• Stable reflector: Fun! Find a sufficient bait object or some other sort of G->X and chain a bunch of stuff together until you get a G out some other direction. Likely will require a lot of ntcatforcing and ingenuity.

• Quadratic growth: Given the progress in rakes, I suspect this one will be solved within a few days.

May I add:

• Find non-drifter mechanisms for otherwise unknown periods

• Find guns based on other mechanisms (or, indeed, possibly prove omniartillery, but I suspect that will be difficult)

• Construct hasslers of various periods and of various objects (this sort of includes "find more sparkers" in it)

• Create a universal conduit set

• Find distaffs of various periods

(speaking of "find more sparkers", how are people using LLS to do this stuff??? why couldn't jls just have int rule support...........)

[Disaster16439]

It seems like my pi-crawler design won’t work at 28c/56, so I’m changing to 72c/144, the next good period. To start, 24c/48 rake:

I don’t think this is exactly what we’re aiming for, as synthing a 3-crawler rake is less than trivial. I’m gonna work on the rake and stuff.

The gliders in the loop can be removed and the reflectors would still work, so in this example, they could be used to make loops of all periods that are multiples of 148.
