Mainly it's rules in the B34/S23 and B34/S34 rulespace that explode. Rules such as B34/S15 do not explode.Haycat2009 wrote: May 18th, 2023, 11:38 pm I have been trying to figure out this for a while but why are almost all B34 rules explosive?
Because those birth transitions are exceptionally powerful. B3 allows outward expansion, and B4 additionally makes it even easier for cells to be born around the edges of a finite pattern.Period1GliderGun wrote: May 19th, 2023, 11:39 amMainly it's rules in the B34/S23 and B34/S34 rulespace that explode.

Thanks! A summary of the transitions that make B34 rules explosive:LaundryPizza03 wrote: May 26th, 2023, 9:37 pmBecause those birth transitions are exceptionally powerful.

My question: Is there a rule (can be outer-totalistic, isotropic, or LtL (Larger-than-Life)) that you have encountered with as many 4-cell stable objects (still-lifes or oscillators) as possible? Let's start from 39.

There are range-1 isotropic rules known to have a family of 3-cell oscillators or 3-cell spaceships, adjustable ad infinitum.
A very simple rule with just two isotropic transitions have another infinite class of 4-cell oscillators based on bounded XOR replicators:If you have an explicit example rule that backs up the number 39, you may just as well post it directly — no need to ask this kind of question beforehandCode: Select all
