Speaking of the original post, seems like it may be possible to run a 2D CA on a total aperiodic tiling?(I think the spectre will be better to use,no chirality problems)

o!Some of them are hidden to non-moderators.MDA wrote: August 11th, 2026, 3:31 pm I’m confused. When I click on the link to search for dvgrn’s posts, it says they made only 11,432. Is this a bug?
To clarify, there is a forum called “Moderator discussion” (which unsurprisingly, only moderator can see and post in). The stuff in there is pretty boring based on screenshots, though users have joked about huge discoveries being hidden in there.
But how do I see a different post count from MDA if we're both normal users?
I don’t understand. Once I post this, I’ll have 170 posts and when I click on the link to search for them, it’ll still say that I have 170. Let me know if you see anything different.I6_I6 wrote: August 11th, 2026, 7:20 pm

Oh, I meant we see different post counts for dvgrn's account even though both of us are normal users.MDA wrote: August 13th, 2026, 4:04 amI don’t understand.

Right now, I see 12,003 post total from dvgrn and 11,433 visible posts. How many do you see?I6_I6 wrote: August 13th, 2026, 7:03 am

I don't see anything that says "visible posts". It just says this:

Total posts:12003 | Search user’s posts

Welcome to the forums! You have some pretty neat finds! Just so you know, according to forum rule 3a, try to avoid consecutively posting in the same thread without good reason. Also, I'm not sure if these patterns have been discovered already, so be sure to double check if they've already been found.
