Since the "left duplicator constructor" seems necessary for loop replication, I have included it in the rule.

Code: Select all

@RULE GoucherParticleLoop
#state 0 is blank
#state 1 is tail
#state 2 is head
#state 3 is right reflector
#state 4 is left reflector
#state 5 is construction cell
#state 6 is duplicator
#state 7 is special state
#state 8 is right turn
#state 9 is left turn
#state 10 is left and right duplicator constructor
#state 13 is left duplicator constructor
#state 11 is left and right left-turn constructor
#state 12 is "construction done" signal

I added a "left and right right-turn constructor", to complete my signal collection.

Code: Select all

#state 3 is right reflector
#state 4 is left reflector
#state 5 is construction cell

#state 7 is special state
#state 8 is right turn
#state 9 is left turn
#state 10 is left and right duplicator constructor
#state 13 is left duplicator constructor
#state 14 is right duplicator constructor
#state 11 is left and right left-turn constructor
#state 12 is "construction done" signal
#state 15 is left and right right-turn constructor

This rule can also support chaotic explosions, surprisingly enough.

The "construction done" signal is working almost perfectly. The only thing that prevents this from being a loop rule is that the "construction done" cannot be created when a loop is complete.

Code: Select all

#state 0 is blank
#state 1 is tail
#state 2 is head
#state 3 is right reflector
#state 4 is left reflector
#state 5 is construction cell
#state 6 is duplicator
#state 7 is special state
#state 8 is right turn
#state 9 is left turn
#state 10 is left and right duplicator constructor
#state 13 is left duplicator constructor
#state 14 is right duplicator constructor
#state 11 is left and right left-turn constructor
#state 12 is "construction done" signal
#state 15 is left and right right-turn constructor
#state 16 is special state

Well done - I've been looking forward to you completing the construction done dynamics and seeing what sort of constructions are possible. My simple loop examples I tried during early iterations seem far from being able to work in this rule though - particularly as your design of the construction done signal is still opaque to me and I haven't yet explored the dynamics of state 16 and 17. I'm curious if you think a simple loop will still work in this rule, i.e. a direct analogue of the original Goucher loops, or if the design is entirely focussed on the short circuit method of construction discussed early on. I ask this because I've noticed that pulling the construction done around a corner then deletes the corner, which indicates to me that a simple loop design would not be possible.

While trying to close a few different loops, I've noticed some situations where the rule is not invariant to left/right swap under mirror symmetry. The following pattern illustrates this best, showing several pairs of interactions which I would expect to have the same behaviour, but they don't.

Code: Select all

x = 21, y = 75, rule = GoucherParticleLoop
E19.E2$I19.H$A19.A2$B19.B$A19.A2$B19.B$A19.A15$A19.A$B19.B2$A19.A$B

6$B19.B$AEBA13.ABEA2$B19.B$A19.A6$B19.B$A19.A$.EBA13.ABE$B19.B$A19.A!
Also, I wonder if you would consider revising the state definitions to group different types of states together, before embarking on loop creation, or do you already have a significant number of patterns using the current state definitions?

P.S. No color is defined for state 7

The basic square loop skeleton I had in mind is as follows, while it seems the one you had in mind used right turns instead of left turns.

Indeed it does. That helps somewhat, even though it could be worked around by giving turn signals an extra space behind them. I've actually tried both left and right turning loops which is how the discrepancies became apparent.
From my previous post I think you can ignore the centre issue - it's essentially the same as the last one and the geometry with left and right turners is unrealistic. However the creation of the construction done signal is still problematic. The demonstration below shows what I understand might happen in a pure left hand loop on the left, and a pure right hand loop on the right.

Code: Select all

x = 52, y = 58, rule = GoucherParticleLoop

If I understand your design correctly, then the creation of the construction done signal works for the right hand case, but not for the left. However, the evolution of the duplicator into a latch works for the left hand case, but not the right. The evolution of a turner into duplicator seems to work OK for both left and right, but the placement of the constructor results in the new loop colliding with the duplicator of the parent loop. This is the motivation for the complex cascade of special states in simsim314's LoopParticles rules:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = LoopParticles
.A$.K$E!
You could avoid the need for this with some means of pushing the constructor away from the loop prior to beginning construction (as is done in many other loop rules) but I can't see any way of doing that in the current design.
The other fairly big issue is that I can't seem to send construction done to the new loop so that it can begin replicating, and once that's done it also seems to me that it will be particularly difficult to get exactly one copy of the entire signal stream into the new loop.

I haven't yet worked out what might be possible using the left and right duplicator/turner constructor signals (i.e. states 10, 11, 13, 14 and 15), but I'm leaving that till later.

BA4.AB3.AH3.AQ.C!
The first two rules in your list deal with evolving a left hand reflector into a duplicator, and it's not difficult to add the right hand versions which would make the right hand case work the same way, but I'll get to that later.

There are a few other rules which preference left or right hand behaviour:

Code: Select all

12,p,6,0,0,0,0,0,1,0
You can see the effect of this rule in the third example from the top - for left hand side 'construction done' fades, but for right hand side it remains.

Code: Select all

0,1,7,0,0,p,0,0,0,12 #1

p,0,7,0,0,1,0,0,0,12 #2
0,1,0,7,0,p,0,0,0,5  #3

0,1,0,0,7,p,0,0,0,0  #4

p,0,0,7,0,1,0,0,0,5  #6

0,7,0,0,0,1,p,0,0,5  #9
0,0,0,7,0,0,1,p,0,5  #0
These rules deal with creation of construction done signal and I have numbered them for reference. As far as I can see, only the right turn case works, and only in two of the three possible phases. Additionally, if the spacing between signals is altered (i.e. 2 empty cells between signals as in your earlier design) then the right hand case doesn't work either. Here's another pattern showing this in full detail - AFAIUI.

Code: Select all

This shows the step by step evolution of two signal streams colliding, as far as I understand the dynamics should work. Once again, the left hand side is what should happen in a left turn loop and the right hand side a right turn loop. Steps which don't work as shown are underlined, and the rule which makes the corresponding case work is annotated with numerical reference to the rules above. Please tell me if I'm on the wrong track.

Now, I could fix up a few of these problems, but I don't feel that I understand what you are trying to do well enough to create a set of rules which works as expected. Here are the existing issues as I see them, beyond the left / right / mirror symmetry differences (including previously mentioned issues):
  • The creation of the construction done block occurs mid transfer of the signal stream into the child loop. This results in only partial transfer of the stream into the loop. This could be resolved either using simsim314's technique of waiting until the end of the signal stream to create the construction done particle and to automatically finish off the child loop (taking care to correctly determine whether a left or right turn is required), OR using the existing signal stream to finish the loop, but also duplicate the last few signals which would otherwise have been lost.
  • When the construction signal transforms a reflector into a duplicator, it creates a construction cell adjacent to the signal stream. This location results in the almost completed child loop crashing into the duplicator. Possible solutions mentioned in previous post.
  • As I understand it, the goal of this rule is to allow complex loops with left and right turns. At this stage, the construction signal will transform the next reflector it comes across into a duplicator, but this is unlikely to be a suitable location for a duplicator as it won't be on the next corner. There currently doesn't seem to be any way to abort construction at inappropriate locations, or to mark particular reflectors as corner reflectors suitable to be used as duplicators.
  • The short circuit construction idea proposed to allow better than linear increase in available storage space seems to me as though it will need a quite different method of closing the loop, but I really can't envisage how this will work at this stage.

Actually, the construction signal will only change right turns into duplicators. I think the rule already does make loops that are complex enough to attempt implementing some form of evolutionary behavior, which is my goal for the rule.

Duplicating those signals is probably best -- there is quite a large chance that those signals are state 2.

simsim314 also considered a moving construction cell, which was used in the Tempesti loops. That design would use your average square loop, but with a moving construction cell, and would probably use a very similar method of closing the loop. simsim314's actual "quadratic DNA" design would probably use an "end loop" signal, which would be duplicated when it hit a reflector (which would be created to insert the parent loop's DNA into the child loop) and would make a "construction done" signal.

That was part of the end of loop dynamics, not the beginning of loop dynamics. My solution to this problem was to have some space between the loops to avoid this problem.

It seems that state 17, instead of state 2, must be released, thus making the left-and-right left-turn constructor useless. (It kept the projected loop size larger than the size of the loop it was going to create for a long time.)

I fixed a major error in my rule that had to do with state 17.

Code: Select all

#state 8 is right turn

#state 10 is left and right duplicator constructor
#state 13 is left duplicator constructor
#state 14 is right duplicator constructor
#state 11 is left and right left-turn constructor
#state 12 is "construction done" signal
#state 15 is left and right right-turn constructor
#state 16 is turner+latcher

Well I decided to add more states to GoucherParticleLoops to make it work and here's the result:

Code: Select all

@RULE GoucherParticleLoop
#state 0 is blank
#state 1 is tail
#state 2 is head
#state 3 is right reflector
#state 4 is left reflector
#state 5 is construction cell
#state 6 is duplicator
#state 7 is push constructor
#state 8 is right turn
#state 9 is left turn
#state 10 is left and right duplicator constructor
#state 13 is left duplicator constructor
#state 14 is right duplicator constructor
#state 11 is left and right left-turn constructor
#state 12 is "construction done" signal
#state 15 is left and right right-turn constructor
#state 16 is turner+latcher
#state 17 is construction signal
#state 18 is special
#state 19 is special
#state 20 is special
#state 21 is push turn
#state 22 is special push

@fluffykitty: Here is my loop design (for square loops). Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work, even though it has the same basic design as most loops. Did you have a different loop design?

Well i'm looking into it. Here's my loop:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 9, rule = GoucherParticleLoop
.C$.AB.AB.AC$7.B$.B$.A2$.B$CA.BA.HA$7.P!
Try experimenting with that.

Oh now I get it. First let me introduce the breadth measurement. To calculate it simply find out the distance between two reflectors and add 2. You should have the same number of push signals as the breadth measurement. (You had two more push signals than necessary.) Here's the corrected version:

Code: Select all

x = 149, y = 53, rule = GoucherParticleLoop
9$92.C$10.AH.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB

(Am I now the official developer of GoucherParticleLoop? Please tell me.)

I made a new version that supports cross loops. (Kind of.)

Code: Select all

@RULE GoucherParticleLoop

#state 2 is head
#state 3 is right reflector
#state 4 is left reflector
#state 5 is construction cell

#state 8 is right turn
#state 9 is left turn
#state 10 is left and right duplicator constructor
#state 13 is left duplicator constructor
#state 14 is right duplicator constructor
#state 11 is left and right left-turn constructor
#state 12 is "construction done" signal
#state 15 is left and right right-turn constructor
#state 16 is turner+latcher
#state 17 is construction signal
#state 18 is special

You're certainly one of them!

You really update rules quickly! For reference, here is wildmyron's original loop design. (It still does not work. Making it work would require some way to mark reflectors, which I will probably add quite soon.)

Code: Select all

x = 21, y = 18, rule = GoucherParticleLoop
.C10.C$.B.AB.AB.C3.AB.AC$.A6.A3.B3.H$8.I3.A$.B3.D10.A$CA.IA3.AB.ABD2.
B$5.B2.D$5.A10.A$.C9.D.BA.B$.AB.ABD5.A3.C$12.B$.B7.D$.A2.DA.BA3.AB.AB
C$5.B3.H2.D$.H7.A6.A$.A3.A10.B$C.BA.B2.C11.E$5.C10.F!
By the way, here is the smallest loop in this rule, which unfortunately dies out because of your improvements. It seems that cross-shaped loops and 7x7 loops simply cannot get along.

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = GoucherParticleLoop
.C$2.AB.AC$.B3.B$.A2$CBA.HA$5.P!

Well they *kind of* can. The 7x7 loop isn't completely fixed, but I like it.

Code: Select all

#state 10 is left and right duplicator constructor
#state 13 is left duplicator constructor
#state 14 is right duplicator constructor
#state 11 is left and right left-turn constructor
#state 12 is "construction done" signal
#state 15 is left and right right-turn constructor
