Can someone add this P75 pi hassler to LifeWiki? I would add it myself but that would be adding my own discovery.

p75 pi hassler: there's some debris that forms really late. Also CatForce's torus setup means the pd's interfere, so can't use that to search. Tried some placements of 30P25 too, but no luck.

Code: Select all

x = 23, y = 62, rule = B3/S23

Can someone create a LifeWiki page for the Carotenoid? I feel like it should have one, but it doesn't yet.

Can "At present these are the only two clean waveguides known. " be removed from the Superstring page?

Note: I edited the Superstring page on 1 March 2026 to change "At present these are the only two waveguides known." to "At present these are the only two clean waveguides known." after I found the above superstring. However, I also found some superstrings that are not clean, like this one:

Should all versions of the undimensional spaceship be merged into one page titled "Unidimensional spaceships"? I was thinking about including a general definition of a unidimensional spaceship being any ship with at least one 1D phase, then adding the known versions under a header named "History".

On an unrelated note, I think the new four-digit Demonoid needs its own article.

I've made one (a while ago): https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Unidimensional_spaceship

I still insist that "1D spaceship" is a better name that long unpronounceable "unidimensional"

I still insist that "1D spaceship" is a better name that long unpronounceable "unidimensional"

How about "1×N spaceship", matching the naming convention set by 1×N quadratic growth? Although with PHPBB search parsing × as a word boundary character, maybe it's best to swap it out for a lowercase x in both terms.

It seems like the term "unidimensional" has the most historical precedent. LifeWiki had an entry using "unidimensional" as early as 2009-05-27, and a blog post from 2008-06-10 uses the term as well. I couldn't find a Life Lexicon entry for either, so I imagine the terminology wasn't standardized.

In my mind, "1D spaceship" brings an association to the unrelated concept of one-dimensional cellular automata and seems to make less sense semantically.
