If they're high enough period they will leave the bounding box before their mod happens.
For instance:

Code: Select all

#C robbed from a laudrypizza03 post on the 5s project
x = 18, y = 18, rule = B2acn3ceqy5cjkr6ck/S12-ei3cy4kny5aijq6ck7cHistory
3BA$B2AB$ABAB12$15.2BD$15.BDB$15.B2D$15.D2B!
Mod is irrelevant. At least to this definition.

How do you define change in direction, then?
In a pure sense and not the fuzzy ones I can think of like "when it turns".
It will be hard to define when it turns as when the ship changes movement direction given that there isn't going to be a canonical center of the ship.

continuous motion of the center of the bounding box without changing polar theta as a vector expression = same direction
otherwise = change in direction
the first generation that forces a change in theta = the moment to calculate if that generation left the previous bounding box calculated in the same manner

Very well.
But then even a LWSS is changing direction since its bounding box fluctuates, and thus its center:

Code: Select all

x = 45, y = 10, rule = B/S012345678History

lwss does not completely leave it's previous bounding box before changing theta
completely leave means no cells, dead or alive, are under both areas of the previous and current bounding box
ie: both bounding boxes must not overlap anywhere
technically lwss is a diag-diag net-ortho ship

There's a fairly easy way to circumvent this issue but I'm not sure you have stated it quite yet:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 10, rule = LifeHistory

What's the latest definition?
cant skip generations; theta changes cannot be added together since the whole point is to eliminate premature turning
ur doing fine; my feelings are hardened due to previous harassment back in school days, and dont worry i curbed the bullying in my own school
basically the definition is anyship that changes absolute theta at least once and every change happens only after completely disassociating all parts of its bounding box with the previous phase's bounding box qualifies as a zig-zagging ship (direction-direction-...-direction net-direction zig-zag ship; replace direction with actual direction; as many as necessary)

Cuz the gluon is the boson carrying the strong force, and there are a lot of them.
If it has mass it's tiny.

Because not all microscopic spaceships travel at c so they can't be photons.

But gluons most likely travel at c.

I thought they were stationary?

AFAIK pions (which carry the residual strong force) are stationary and only move between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, and gluons bind quarks together, so they should move even less.

While gluons are confined within hadrons, they are not stationary. Since they (theoretically) have 0 mass, they move at c. A better name would probably be "electron", "proton", "neutron", or even "atom".
Any sufficiently advanced software is indistinguishable from malice.

Non-component: A collision of one or more gliders with a rare still life that produces a different, structurally-unrelated rare. The collision is so specific that it only works on the original still life. Example:

Pseudo-crawler
Some reaction that moves a still-life or oscillator in a way which cannot be used to create gliders out of it, and thus cannot be used to make a caterpillar-like spaceship.

Yes, I made a mistake. Also, box-negator-flip-flops and diamond-negator-flip-flops, exactly what they sound like. The second is a diamond-negator-flip-flop.

The pattern you posted remains a box-negator forever; That was not a requirement to be a box negator.
You literally are disagreeing on the definition of a term with its creator, who said:
