Um, why nervous though?
I think that the account is supposed to be based off of Donald Trump in real life, so that is probably based off of Trump's fear that China is seeking to usurp America.
He said discoveries.

What? I didn't know that GUYTU6J is Chinese.

Calcyman's project "CataGOLue" is a portmanteau of "CataLOGue" and "GOL"(which stands for Game of Life).
Those are non-totalistic rules. The notation uses letters to signify the position of cells in the neighbourhood. The second one is probably an apgcode for something.Trump {Bot} wrote: October 29th, 2020, 3:10 am Why do some of the rulestrings contain small letters or even words like "city" or "cent"?
What do they mean?

I don't think so. It doesn't send out its first Herschel until its population is much larger than when the R-pentomino sends out its first Herschel, and it lasts over 150 generations longer than an R-pentomino.toroidalet wrote: November 1st, 2020, 8:39 pm That second one comes from an R-pentomino (compare with generation 2):
I'm sure that the reason that he did not figure it out himself is because he is too busy performing the important responsibilities of a world leader, such as tweeting, playing golf, practicing Sinophobia, block-spamming, and insulting ColorfulGalaxy.toroidalet wrote: November 1st, 2020, 8:06 pmThe fact that the president of the United States, Commander-in-Chief of the US Army, leader of the Free World, etc. is unable to figure these things out would've undermined my faith in American democracy except for the fact that it had already been undermined.

Almost all the "Sawtooth" you list grow gradually, then shrink gradually, then grow.
But I found some that doesn't shrink "gradually", but "suddenly".
Some examples are Highlife Replicator and the binary counting machine.
Should they be considered "SawTooth"?
The only condition a pattern needs to have to be a sawtooth is its population has to eventually grow beyond any arbitrary size and needs to drop down to temporarily a fixed value indefinitely.Trump {Bot} wrote: November 2nd, 2020, 11:31 pm I just read your article on "SawTooth".
