This could potentially give a 6-glider synthesis based on this predecessor:

Code: Select all

x = 30, y = 21, rule = LifeHistory
.A$2.A$3A12$18.2E5.2E$15.E.E.2E3.E2.E$8.2C4.E4.E5.3E$6.2C.C5.E2.E6.2E
.2E$6.C10.2E6.3E$6.C16.E2.E$23.E.E!

The piece on the right (yellow) is just the 2-glider collision that gives the traffic light and glider. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a compatible 3-glider synthesis for the 7-cell piece on the left (light green).

A HWSS-on-LWSS (not the same one as my inaugural run of apgsearch) has now appeared in the b3s23/C1 census of Catagolue:

It's the same soup committed twice. Apparently some bug regarding handling lost internet connection.

The second one is just the four-way variant of the T-nosed P6. That first one looks new, though.

Extrementhusiast wrote:The second one is just the four-way variant of the T-nosed P6.

I was quite aware of the t-nosed p6. Is this a known variant? Or is this the original form? ( I think I heard from somewhere that the original form of t-nosed p6 was four-way symmetrical)]
Anyway, I think it's worth searching in close variants of Life.

This p6 is known (it is in jslife). The p5 might be new; I haven't seen it before, and it's not in jslife (although sometimes low-period oscillators don't get recorded in collections).
