A new rule: Teslinov (B2e3-ekr/S1c2-a3-n)!

Random soup:

#R B2e3-ekr/S1c2-a3-n

Spaceships:

The second spaceship has potential - it is quite resilient, and survives many collisions. I found the other orthogonal spaceships from collisions with the basic c/2 spaceship.

Sadly, the rule is almost unapgsearchable, as not only does the puffer slow it down - about 25% of soups have a puffer in their ash - but it cannot recognise the puffer correctly - a simple haul with about 2400 soups had 24 distinct infinite growth patterns, most of which are simply the puffer not being recognised correctly.

S4n suppresses the block output of the puffer, making the rule apgsearchable:

A unique structure in my Photonics rule:

Actually that may be a better summary, as it suggests that the behaviour is too complicated to fall into any single simple category. That may mean the reaction/object deserves a description or explanation of how it behaves (instead of just a category or a label).

Here is generation 0 for reference:
Code: Select all
x = 2, y = 11, rule = Photonics
BC$.C$.C$.C$.C$.C$.C$.C$.C$.C$BC!
It produces moving reactions which can be described as "moving counters", and which continue to interact with each other later.

The following is the leftmost part (truncated) from generation 65000:
Code: Select all
x = 1005, y = 7, rule = Photonics

#C [[ HARDRESET STOP 800 ]]
Around generations 65800-65900, the "moving counter" at the end exhausts all photons, and emits a backward pulse (in the form of a short-lived photon backrake). Since it's a backrake emitted backwards, it ends up emitting the photons forward relative to the direction of movement of all the counters. When the pulse collides with the second "moving counter", both are destroyed (just before that second counter would otherwise emit a backward pulse if it wasn't destroyed).
Later the same process repeats with third "moving counter", which finishes counting and emits a backward pulse destroying fourth "moving counter".
The same happens with fifth and sixth "moving counters", and so on. Every other counter is destroyed. The remaining "moving counters" continue to move and count. Later the same process will repeat again with odd-numbered counters destroying even-numbered counters.
