Thread for your unsure discoveries in OCA

Post by Termite »

EDIT by dvgrn: Split off this thread into an experimental version of "unsure discoveries" for OCA .

This thread will aim to collect newcomers' "unsure" OCA posts -- more so than the Miscellaneous Discoveries thread. We can always merge it with that thread if things don't work out here, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea to create a place specifically for feedback on "is it new? / is it interesting?" type questions.


Natural reaction in other universe:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 9, rule = B34c57e/S234c7e

I think we need a “thread for your unsure discoveries in other cellular automata” thread…

the "Miscellaneous Discoveries in Other Cellular Automata" thread should be close enough

Ok! So are there any other natural reactions in other universes?

Smallest sierpinski triangle generator I've seen so far:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B2-ik/S
bo$o$o$2b2o!
I find that almost every rule with sufficiently small moving components have insane variety.
Also, here is a double wickstretcher in the same rule:

Code: Select all

x = 79, y = 67, rule = B2-ik/S
