I think that would qualify as a class F (space-filling) replicator, under this classification scheme. It's definitely an unusual case, though.

It's an XOR linear replicator.
The line just moves northwest.

If a p3 oscillator can be found (easier said than done, perhaps), Wire-/1V would be omniperiodic, becoming perhaps the simplest known omniperiodic rule:

Code: Select all

@RULE Wire-_1V
@TABLE
n_states:3

var a={0,1,2}
var b=a

var d=a

1,a,b,c,d,2
2,1,e,f,g,1
@COLORS
1 128 128 255
2 0 255 0

P1, 2, 4, 5+ oscillators:

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 11, rule = Wire-_1V

The reaction that this is based on can also be used for oscillators (say, this xp312), and I wouldn't be surprised if it also allowed for other spaceship periods.

@Apple Bottom yeah Danny has a smaller one on the discord but the c/8d is cool too.

An xq298 could be possible too based on the tiny knightpuffer

Hm, now I'm looking for it I can't actually find Danny's Corder-like-ship in the Discord archives. Maybe it got removed accidentally by one of the Caterer purges? Do you have the RLE for it?

No? I'll look

Now that Wire-/1V is known to be omniperiodic, it occurs to me just now that two even simpler rules support everything I posted before, plus a simpler p3 consisting of 4 active cells in a straight line:

Code: Select all

@RULE Wire-1_1V
@TABLE
n_states:3
neighborhood:vonNeumann
symmetries:permute
var a={0,1,2}
var b=a
var c=a
var d=a
var e={0,2}

var g=e
var h={1,2}
h,1,e,f,g,1
1,a,b,c,d,2
@COLORS
1 128 128 255
2 0 255 0

Code: Select all

@RULE Wire-13_13V

var a={0,1,2}
var b=a
var c=a
var d=a
var e={0,2}
var f=e
var g=e

a,1,1,1,e,1
1,a,b,c,d,2
@COLORS
1 128 128 255
2 0 255 0

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 11, rule = Wire-1_1V
11.B$11.B3.B.B.B.B.B.B$B2.B7.B3.A13B$3.A7.A4.B.B.B.B.B.B.B$11.B14.2B$
25.2B$26.2B$25.2B$26.2B$25.2B$26.B$4A!

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 11, rule = Wire-13_13V
11.B$11.B3.B.B.B.B.B.B$B2.B7.B3.A13B$3.A7.A4.B.B.B.B.B.B.B$11.B14.B$
25.2B$26.2B$25.2B$26.2B$25.2B$26.B$4A!

The first one is totalistic in the 4-cell VN neighborhood; the second is simply the wire version of the 4-cell VN XOR automaton. While Wire-1/1V is identical to Wire-/1V for starting patterns where all state-1 cells have the same parity, meaning that whatever circuitry in one should work in the other, the XOR automaton should behave somewhat differently due to B3, but retains its omniperiodicity (and could possibly even be computationally universal, making it perhaps the simplest universal automaton, as it is arguably simpler even than W110). My suspicion is that Wire-1/1V is universal but Wire-13/13V isn't, but that's nothing more than just a suspicion.

DISCLAIMER: Both rule tables and patterns contained within this post are entirely untested. I'm also really busy at the moment, so I may not be able to fix or even respond to anything for a while.

I've probably simply not had enough coffee yet today, but-- isn't "photons at c/2 and c/4" a contradiction in terms? They're called photons because move at the speed of light, after all.

shrug. Better than using 'glider' for spaceships that don't necessarily have glide symmetry.
