c/4o in a rule without B1e, B2a, or survival

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 14, rule = B2-an3-cery4city5kqry6-ck7c8/S

2b2o$bo3bo$6b2o3bo$3bo6bo$8bo!

Found with LLS in about 28 minutes (Exact time 1668.37912083 seconds)
The rule is not explosive too so we can apgluxe it although the ship won't be appearing anytime soon I think

I call it "Dove".

[77topaz]

Nice find! And yeah, that ship looks too big and fragile to be anything but extremely rare naturally.

The same rule also has this c/5 diagonal ship (different from AbhpzTa's one):

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = B2-an3-cery4city5kqry6-ck7c8/S

This reminds me of an idea I had in this thread. If you can find an equivalent "wave" that erodes the wick, instead of expanding it, then you could create an arbitrarily slow (and arbitary slope) spaceship.

[77topaz]

Considering its destructive, one-way nature, I don't think that counts as propagation (superluminal propagation has been proven impossible in Moore-neighbourhood CA, after all).

[LaundryPizza03]

Then what would you call this effect?

[77topaz]

For a physical analogue, I suppose it is somewhat similar to the way a shadow can appear to move faster than light as it does not convey information from one shadowed object to another (only from the light source to the object). However, that doesn't really give a one-word name like "propagation".
