They'd all head back to the department eventually and continue on the trail of the methuselah r-pentomino, hoping to happen upon an information stream. The Life computer program was still in the works, so frustration over their lack of success was exacerbated by the fact that the investigators were still working manually. Even 10 generations proved nearly impossible to document accurately without elaborate and diligent checks. In this regard, a force for good arrived in the form of Richard Guy, Mike's father, who visited nearly every summer. British-born, he had studied mathematics at Cambridge, spending much of his time playing and analyzing chess, composing endgame problems that he published in the British Chess Magazine. This led to his intensive games research, considered pivotal in the history of combinatorial game theory. He served in the Royal Air Force during the war and as a meteorologist in Iceland and Bermuda, then lectured for a time at the University of London, as well as in Singapore and in Delhi at the Indian Institute of Technology, before eventually landing at the University of Calgary. A precisian fellow—precise, careful, fastidious, conscientious—qualities of character that the Lifers on the whole lacked. Conway appointed him “blinker watcher,” a tedious task. He kept an accounting of blinkers and other debris that splintered off from center stage as the action in the spotlight evolved generation upon generation.Code: Select all

Unlike many other "searchable things" or "findable things", glider destructions of small objects are (at least in Conway's Life) easy to find. There are only few ways to hit the target by a glider from a given direction, and at most four directions to check. It is "cheaper" to rediscover an appropriate glider destruction that works in some context, compared to compiling a database and doing lookups in it. Without additional restrictions, most small still lives have 1G destructions.
For beehive and boat, the gliders can’t get there from infinity.tommyaweosme wrote: January 6th, 2025, 7:43 pm many glider destructionsCode: Select all

An inherent property of some Margolus rules is that they are reversible, meaning that the algorithm can be run in reverse. (Try hitting Backspace at T=0) Rules that have an eater (like CGoL) mean that that eater has at least 2 parents (itself and the version of itself where it is eating the spaceship), meaning that it cannot be reversed. To be reversible, a pattern must emit a spaceship if a spaceship collides with it.tommyaweosme wrote: January 31st, 2025, 8:50 pm i cant seem to run a spaceship into an oscillator and get ANYTHING but another oscillator and the same spaceship somewhere elseCode: Select all
