I send this to my rule thread, for further development without cluttering that thread.

Meanwhile, I removed rakes and added alternating checkerboard spacefiller:

About CataProp3, can you add a way for state 1 to make state 2 and vice versa? Maybe B6n/S6n will do.

CataProp 3 is a hybrid rule, and has a property that swapping the 2 on states doesn't affect the behavior of the pattern. I decide to not accept the suggestion.

I don't care about the above property. I am not using it in my fork of CataProp 3.

If it's your fork (--> a separate project), then how about putting it and the related discussion in for example your sandbox thread, instead of someone else's thread?

Hotcrystal0 made their own fork of CataProp 3 on this thread.

"CataProp" will lose its meaning if there's no catalyst state, so I think I'll add an extra state:

Code: Select all

#C The catalyst is a dot that I attempted to make to splits Ts, but in future I'll add wires too

b-engine wrote: November 30th, 2024, 3:53 am CataProp 3 is a hybrid rule, and has a property that swapping the 2 on states doesn't affect the behavior of the pattern. I decide to not accept the suggestion.

No, I mean that state 1 can create state 2 by B6n or S6n, and state 2 can create state 1 by the same transitions.

I decide to make each state emulates a single INT rule, so such feature wouldn't be accepted, at least until I make it's successor.

nbsearched for oscillators, and finally I got 49 periods:

OscResults (49).mc: Note: too large to been posted as RLE so I compressed it into macrocell; (412.91 KiB) Downloaded 84 times

From this search I can confirm that for every periods from 2 to 42 there must be an oscillator.
